Major Nevada union, Sanders campaign resolve dispute

[Autumn]

Union and the Bernie Sanders campaign say they've resolved their issues after a kerfuffle earlier Thursday had the group at odds with the Vermont senator's presidential operation in a key early voting state.

The union had accused Bernie Sanders' campaign staffers of posing as union workers in an attempt to gain access to their members, a charge the Sanders campaign denied.
The union and Sanders campaigners later said the issue, which was first reported by Ralston Reports' Jon Ralston, had been settled.

Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager, said Thursday -- after the statement from culinary was released -- that his understanding is that none of the staffers "ever misrepresented who they were."

Buried in the article

Culinary has long been at the center of the Nevada caucuses. The union endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, a race where Clinton campaign staffers were accused of trying to infiltrate various casinos and resorts in Las Vegas.

1. Thanks Autumn. The loons really got themselves worked up over this!

Something tells me the weathervane internals are horrifying.

3. I think they are too. I've been out all day, just skimming the outrage at Bernie in gdpee

and found this so thought I would post it.

10. That's what their press release was designed to do...Distract, deflect

deflate.

A bunch of hot air with almost zero facts and no investigating to try and get any. Yes, there is panic in the air in the weathervane camp.

2. Funny how they stuffed this nugget at the end of the article.

Culinary has long been at the center of the Nevada caucuses. The union endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, a race where Clinton campaign staffers were accused of trying to infiltrate various casinos and resorts in Las Vegas.

Why would anyone believe it was Bernie staffers now when it was Clinton's staff caught doing it 8 years ago. I smell a rat-fucker in this as well. smh

6. Doesn't look like it.

9. Now we know where all the money is going.

I wonder if Camp Weathervane is already in the red.

11. She's been conservative for quite some time, yes.

7. Nevada has long been tainted by the Mob; perhaps this is related?

"Mistakes were made". I'll bet they were.

8. Interesting tidbit from Gawker

Interesting (emphasis mine):

Assemblywoman Maggie Carlton, a Culinary Union member who just endorsed Hillary, said the Sanders campaign’s techniques were an invasion, but more importantly, they were a security risk—to which I say, maybe there should be a higher barrier to entry than an easily obtained pin.
