Bernie Sanders supporter helps Bloomberg volunteers clean graffiti off election office

Paul is an outspoken Bernie Sanders supporter. The Bloomberg campaign saying in a statement Friday, they speculate the vandalism may be the work of Bernie Sanders supporters.

“We call on Bernie Sanders to immediately condemn these attacks and for his campaign to end the Trump-like rhetoric that is clearly encouraging his supporters to engage in behavior that has no place in our politics.”

Kevin Sheekey, Bloomberg Campaign Manager
But Paul says it wasn’t the criticism of Bernie supporters from the Bloomberg camp that motivated him to do this. He tells us, he didn’t want to see buildings in his community defaced.

“This is my community, this is my neighborhood, and I feel like this is my city. I’ve lived here all my life. The vandalism was on national news. I think it made Knoxville look bad, it definitely made the democratic party look bad. It was just the right thing to do,” Paul said.
