Paige Hutchinson, Mello’s campaign manager, told the Huffington Post on Friday that in his “most recent term in the legislature, Heath Mello voted 100% with Planned Parenthood Voters of Nebraska.” https://rewire.news/article/2017/04/21/planned-parenthood-nebraska-never-gave-heath-mello-100-percent-rating/

“In his most recent term in the legislature, Heath Mello voted 100% with Planned Parenthood Voters of Nebraska,” Mello campaign manager Paige Hutchinson said in a statement.

So there was no "smear of Mello and Sanders" by PPVN. In fact, it is a smear of PPVN to suggest it smeared anyone. Let it go. Conjuring a conspiracy theory on this topic is not helping Dems.
