Sanders calls Trump a 'political coward' over voter suppression report

Source: The Hill

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday blasted Donald Trump after a report that the Republican's presidential campaign has three "voter suppression" drives in effect to lower turnout for Hillary Clinton.

"Anybody who is suppressing the vote because they know that those people will vote against them is a political coward," the Vermont Independent and former White House candidate tweeted.

A senior adviser to Trump's campaign said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek that his team has "three major voter suppression operations underway."

The efforts have a goal of discouraging votes from white liberals, young women and blacks — three blocs that overwhelmingly favor Clinton.

'political coward' Short and to the point. This is Bernies specialty, communication.

I like watching when Bernie gets in the ring because Trump has defined Sanders as the poor besotted victim of Hillary, which could work because its based on a shred of fact. But won't work the more Bernie calls him out for what he is and messes up his narrative. And probably makes him vewwwwy vewwwwwwy angwy.

Refusing to recognize the outcome of an election
