The GOP will make very sure of it. No one knew about Willie Horton until the GOP ran an ad about it in the General election...

Right now, they GOP campaign machine is pushing for Sanders' candidacy, and as such, won't be talking about anything that might undercut support for him. They're working overtime to make him appear to be "the victim of the Democratic establishment."
