Sanders' campaign: Warren only appeals to 'affluent'

[Nanjeanne]

20. This is a story based on a "script" that is not part of the Sanders campaign. I am a phone banker

for Sanders and this is most definitely not a campaign script given to any volunteer. None of my training includes anything remotely like this. We are told not to comment on other candidates and pivot back to Sanders if anyone brings up another candidate. All videos on Sanders training site also reiterate that no mention of other candidates is encouraged.

Hundreds of volunteers like myself have been tweeting that this is completely inaccurate and is not a Sanders campaign "script" but this story is still taking off - especially by those who want to believe it's true. It's sad to see it here on DU but I have come to be saddened often.

It is entirely possible someone put together some talking points on their own but this is most definitely not a instructions from the Sanders campaign to their staffers. This story is like the telephone game. No one has shown an actual verified script from the Sanders campaign to prove this is real. Only some typed words that "someone" attributes to the formal Sanders campaign.

I'm sure my instructions as a Sanders volunteer will mean nothing to those who choose to believe otherwise. But what a strange world we live in when this kind of anonymous so-called script takes on it's own life and is repeated by others to verify it's accuracy.
