Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg are both right. The other guy's got issues.

Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have for weeks been denouncing billionaire and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg for trying to “buy the election.” Over the weekend, Sanders cranked up his attacks against Bloomberg. The New York Times reported: “Speaking in Las Vegas, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont devoted an entire portion of his speech to Mr. Bloomberg, accusing him of supporting ‘racist policies’ like the so-called stop-and-frisk searches of young minority men and attacking him for opposing minimum wage increases in the past.”

Bloomberg struck back on Monday, taking issue with Sanders’s aggressive and sometime abusive online attack dogs:

The fight escalated when Bloomberg campaign chief Kevin Sheekey tweeted, “At this point the primary is Bernie’s to lose, and ours to win. No one else really has the math to win. @BernieSanders knows this. @realDonaldTrump does as well. It’s why both are attacking Mike.” (The assertion is preposterous, of course, because Sanders has 21 delegates, second only to former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has 22).

To bolster the case that the Sanders campaign’s venom flows not just from random supporters, Bloomberg’s campaign then released a statement with actual tweets from Sanders aides Briahna Joy Gray, David Sirota and Nina Turner. (Turner, for example, has accused former vice president Joe Biden of “betraying” black voters; Sirota fanned a false allegation that Biden wanted to cut Social Security.)

Perhaps people might like to try Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, or Biden. They have always been Democrats.
