Clinton warrior David Brock offers an apology - and his allegiance - to Bernie Sanders [View all]

Source: Washington Post

David Brock is sorry. The founder of Media Matters and a pair of pro-Clinton super PACs battled hard — really hard — against Sen. Bernie Sanders during the Democratic presidential primary. Now he wants to be Sanders's ally.

“I'm with you in the fight ahead,” Brock wrote Tuesday in an open letter to Sanders (I-Vt.), posted on Medium.

Brock told me that he hopes to win over Sanders by advocating for causes they both care about, such as combating climate change and the influence of big money in politics.

“I don't expect anyone to accept one Medium post at face value, especially in a cynical town like Washington,” Brock said. “I'll earn the trust over time, as we work together to resist the Trump administration and to preserve and protect progressive accomplishments.”
