Sanders tried to imply that Russia might be responsible for the Culinary Union threats

In the debate last Wednesday, Sanders tried to imply that Russia might have been responsible for the threats attributed to his supporters.

Watch starting at about minute 4:10. He seems to be saying Russia might have been pulling a false flag operation "against" him. It would be "not thinkable" that his supporters might have been responsible for the threats and intimidation. But we now know that Sanders had information a month ago that Russia was trying to help him, not hurt him.

In any case, it's interesting footage to watch knowing what we know now about what he knew then.

staff and supporters about possible Russian interference. I feel sorry for this young idealistic voter who may have been exposed to people who are working against this country. He is using the Democratic party to turn people against the Democrats and now he is trashing the free press.
