68. They've been trying since Iowa to paint Bernie as a racist and a sexist
Wed Mar 2, 2016, 04:40 PM
Mar 2016

I remember watching the Hillary campaign in Iowa--try to suggest that Bernie was sexist. Then, they moved on to Bernie as racist. Bill Clinton called us "Bernie Bros"-- a manufactured slur that existed only to swipe at Sanders base of support.

They never quit with their dirty tricks, denigration and lies about Sanders supporters.

You can't move from state to state, burning down everything with your vile, dirty campaign as you drag along the stink of David Brock behind you.

Sorry. The answer is NO.
