Bernie Sanders challenged over VT endorsement

[cali]

5. It's not a lawsuit. It's a formal complaint to the AG

And Bill Sorrell, VT's AG, a liberal dem, leaving office in January after 20 years, will tell him to fuck off.

Pearson said he saw Toensing’s letter as another example of the Republican lawyer’s attempt to discredit Sanders and his family. In January, Toensing called for a federal probe into alleged fraud by Jane Sanders in her time as president of Burlington College.

“This guy has a history of harassing Sen. Sanders,” Pearson said. “He is now using me to continue that. These allegations are ludicrous.”

Pearson said that Toensing’s charge that he would be “beholden” to Sanders if elected was ridiculous, and he defended the fundraising email as a grassroots, transparent way to bring in cash.

“In a way, I think of it as Bernie hosted a digital house party for me, and several thousand of his supporters came to support me,” Pearson said.
