(616 posts)Clearly, people who want to see her fired don't listen to her. She is one of the most evenly based moderators I know. I listen every day, and I would have the judgment to discern her perspective.
So she made a mistake. We don't know where she got that information since lists such as that go viral. A member of her staff probably researched it for her.
What is so awful about saying that he had dual citizenship, other than it was an error? It seems to me that to suggest that that was a criticism of Bernie is anti-semetic. I'm glad it came out. If that's the rumor, then it was good that it was cleared up. He answered very well. Now we know.
I'll bet that Bernie wasn't upset. He's a big man. He can stand an error.
By the way, I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter.
Calm down.
