https://www.mediaite.com/news/joe-biden-fires-warning-shot-over-ridiculous-sanders-comments-bernies-got-enough-baggage/Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden laughed off ridiculous criticism from Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and made a not-too-cryptic reference to Sanders political baggage in response to a similar remark from Sanders.
On Friday, Biden was asked to respond to criticism from Sanders over foreign policy, and Biden used the opportunity to take a shot at Sanders while declining to comment.
A reporter told Biden that Sanders was using the escalating crisis with Iran to question your judgment about Iraq, that Sanders talked about how he was right and you were wrong, and asked Whats your response?
I dont respond to Bernies ridiculous comments, Biden said with a smile.
Do you have any questions about Bernie Sanders judgment on foreign policy? another reporter asked.
Youre not going to get me in a fight with Bernie, Biden said, adding Bernies got enough baggage.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I've said a couple of times. Sanders' people are attacking Biden's "baggage". If that's the case...

Jo nailed it, from his divisive characterizations against what he views as "establishment Democrats"

Essentially he put him down without putting him down. Who said he wasn't good at diplomacy?

He's convinced his negative comments will move the dial... they haven't yet.
