In reply to the discussion: Jon Ralston says he's been told Sanders supporters posted Culinary Union leader's home #, cell phone [View all]Indepatriot
(1,253 posts)44. The union "leader' who reported it is a Clinton backing CAP boar member....nothing to see here..
Sanders supporters may not know the name of Argüello-Kline offhand, but they absolutely know the name of Neera Tanden and the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank closely associated with the Clintons and a longtime opponent of progressive politics, where Argüello-Kline is a board member. Tanden and the CPA are perhaps Sanders's most public enemies, and Argüello-Kline attacking him on behalf of the culinary union makes a lot more sense when you know that association. Amazingly, she tried the same attack strategy in 2016 before those caucuses!
They failed again this time, as the rank and file smelled a rat, and the union announced no endorsement...
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

So....the Union guys have it coming because they aren't pure liberal enough? Is that your point?

Even more reason for Sanders to completely and wholly disavow these sort of attacks...

A guy with this much animosity towards Bernie should obviously not be a debate moderator.
