Bernie must apologize

[mcar]

This is revolting.

Numerous prominent Bernie Sanders supporters have been claiming for three days now, with zero proof, that Biden has dementia. Several of them all at once. It’s clearly organized. And rather incredible, considering Sanders is turning 79 soon, and had a recent heart attack.

[rockfordfile]

1. Cenk is pushing trump lies

[JaneQPublic]

10. He's pissed because he just lost his election.

He thought he, a pro-Bernie progressive, could win Katie Hill's purple district.

Guess he was wrong.

[padah513]

14. +1

[George II]

42. He more than lost, he got a whopping 4.5%!!!

[ResistantAmerican17]

44. What a tool....

And I used to enjoy TYT. Haven’t been over there in years.

[Sloumeau]

2. What utter nonsense.

Ever since Super Tuesday, Sanders' surrogates have become desperate swamp creatures.

[redstatebluegirl]

3. Do you mean Sanders surrogates?

[Sloumeau]

7. Oops. Fixed it. Thanks! :) nt

[jrthin]

77. I think they were that way before Super Tuesday.

[honest.abe]

4. This is unbelievable.

What is wrong with these people? This is so stupid and damaging to our cause. This just helps Trump and the Republicans once we get to the general. Sickening.

[morillon]

5. Will someone just cancel Cenk already? n/t

[still_one]

8. The voters did in California

[William769]

19. Yep.

[Blue_true]

32. Yep.

He got what we in the South call an ole fashion ass-whipping.

[George II]

43. Based on his strange sexual interests (from his TYT videos), he probably enjoyed that.

[Cha]

65. ..

[still_one]

69. ..........

[napi21]

6. WOW! I was a Bernie supporter in 2015 & this time I support Biden, but I didn't dislike Bernie.

Those kind of comments change my mind! Bernie is now on my NEVER VOTE FOR LIST. Why in the world would he promote some BS like that? Shame on you Sanders! You're obviously working on loosing to Joe!

[dalton99a]

9. His campaign seems to be a magnet for trolls and trash

[mcar]

24. Including people he's endorsed

[OKNancy]

11. Good article The Disinformation Campaign Being Launched Against Biden

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2020/03/06/the-disinformation-campaign-being-launched-against-biden/

The Bernie Sanders presidential campaign is disavowing a list of post-Super Tuesday talking points distributed to supporters and surrogates on Wednesday morning that suggest Sanders partisans attack a resurgent Joe Biden on his “record and obvious cognitive decline.”

The material, seen by Newsweek, was posted on various social media sites and on internal WhatsApp groups for supporters of the independent Vermont senator as an official campaign communique, but Sanders communications director Mike Caspa said he’d never seen it before.

“That’s not a real document,” he told Newsweek. “It’s not ours.”

“This is now a 2-person race, and there will be heightened scrutiny on Biden’s record and obvious cognitive decline,” the document reads.

Includes tweet by Greenwald and others

<big snip...read it >

Biden “digresses and gets tangential, that’s not cognitive decline,” Lynne Meyer, a California psychologist told Yahoo News. “Trump’s cognitive decline or problems are that he doesn’t even seem to have comprehension of reality. That’s what it looks like.”

We are about to be subjected to a massive disinformation campaign against Joe Biden, and this one will be particularly pernicious. But for those of us who are fact-based, it is important to keep in mind that there is no data to support the allegations that are being made.

[Cha]

12. Poor cenk.. who got his misogynistic, racist ass

handed to him in CA 25 is quite the "supporter".

[Mike 03]

13. Cenk has lost his fucking mind.

These people are a disgrace.

[ibegurpard]

15. Bernie doesn't owe anyone an apology for this.

He's not saying it. Now if you'd like to rephrase your demand and say that he needs to disavow or condemn those saying it then I could agree with that.

[mcar]

26. Do you agree with the Senator's statement?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287641195

[ibegurpard]

30. Nope

People are not responsible for what others say. They can condemn them but they are not obligated to issue apologies for anything other than their own statements.

[LongtimeAZDem]

27. Bernie demanded that Biden apalogize for Hilary Rosen's comments. Rosen does not work

for the Biden campaign, and Biden didn't say it.

But, since Bernie feels that Biden has to apologize for Rosen, then I think Bernie has to apologize for the bestiality guy.

[bluedye33139]

31. Why have Sanders people started this coordinated campaign?

Why are his supporters pushing GRU and Trump talking points?

[ibegurpard]

34. I don't know

Perhaps you could ask his campaign spokespeople? And ask them whether they agree with this or would like to condemn it?

[bluedye33139]

66. You're requesting that I write to the Sanders campaign?

Okay. I will write that email immediately.

And you think that they will write back to me? Hmm.

[ibegurpard]

67. You do whatever you think you need to do

To get an answer to your question.

[LizBeth]

81. His people are. Sanders demanded Biden apologize for something a woman on the news said.

Claiming she is a surrogate and that is a lie. Cenk is Sanders. Sanders held him up as his endorser.

[democrattotheend]

16. Sickening, but why does Bernie need to apologize for this guy?

He retracted his endorsement of Unger a long time ago. Unger doesn't speak for Bernie.

[mcar]

28. ...

[ehrnst]

76. BOOM!

[sheshe2]

17. What a disgusting little man he is.

That goes for the rest following suit spreading lies. Using this heartbreaking disease for political gain is beneath contempt.

There was an 89% increase in deaths due to Alzheimer’s between 2000 and 2014.

More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s.

By 2050, it’s estimated there will be as many as 16 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s.

Every 66 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s.

By 2025, the number of people aged 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease is expected to reach 7.1 million people, a 27% increase from the 5.6 million age 65 and older in 2019.

1 in 3 seniors dies with some form of dementia.

https://www.alzheimers.net/resources/alzheimers-statistics/

My father died from Alzheimer, a heartbreaking debilitating disease with no. I lost my father years before he died. He never knew me.

This is not a joke, Cenk, just stop with the filth.

[mcar]

36. It is a horrible disease, she

and horribly sad for entire families.

Shame on Cenk for this RW smear and shame on Bernie for not apologizing for his surrogate.

[William769]

18. That asshole is the one walking off a cliff.

[KatyBR]

20. CENK has been working from Russians for a LONG TIME-Russian tv

He's has a regular show Russian RTR (Russia's propoganda arm) for many years. This is part of the disinformation campaign.

[ChubbyStar]

37. This is hilarious

Gotta wash some socks now, Bye!

[Celerity]

49. Links please TIA

[NurseJackie]

21. Cenk defends bestiality (sexual animal abuse)...

Cenk defends bestiality (sexual animal abuse) and thinks that it's okay as long as the animal is sexually gratified in the process. (And then he whinnies to simulate a horse having an orgasm.)

He's a disgusting piece of trash. Pure filth.

[4now]

22. And Bernie was so happy to have Cenks support

[showblue22]

23. Yes, it's many predominant Bernie surrogates and all at once

There is no doubt it's coming from Bernie. I am so grateful he is not going to win! Can you imagine this ugliness going on in our nation for years and years? I can't!

[Luciferous]

33. Seems like Cenk should apologize, not Bernie.

[mcar]

38. Do you agree with the Senator's statement?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287641195

[ehrnst]

75. Crickets...

[IluvPitties]

39. Thos is the noise I am referring to from the Sanders campaign

And I will continue denouncing it!

[RazBerryBeret]

48. do a little stroll thru

youtube, snapchat, twitter... this is out there. videos, memes, images, audio. it's convenient to blame Bernie, but it's literally out there everywhere, has been for nearly a year.

[BlueTsunami2018]

40. This whole "dementia" thing is viral on the right and the left.

I expect it from the right and unfortunately, I’m beginning to realize some of the people allegedly on our side are as bad if not worse. Aren’t we supposed to be the smart guys? The good guys?

It doesn’t seem like it sometimes.

[cwydro]

41. That guy is a poisonous creep.

[ucrdem]

45. And he still blew the other guy out of the water times ten?

What does say about the other guy?

[RazBerryBeret]

46. this is out there. has been since the beginning, guys...

you're gonna have to learn to counter it or accept it. This isn't going to be a cake walk (regardless of the candidate).

[mcar]

50. Well, then, that makes it OK for Bernie surrogates to spew it

Really?

[RazBerryBeret]

59. don't be ridiculous...

there is no evidence that this is a wide-spread "bernie-supporter" deal.
my points that this is a thing. take a stroll thru youtube vids, snapchat, twitter, popular memes... there will be lots of things between now and November. you can't blame Bernie for everything...

[Blue_Tires]

47. Like I said in the other thread...

This is a smear that no doubt originated in Moscow, and any so-called "liberal" pundit blindly running with it on social media is either at best a useful idiot, or at worst they're in on the con... (Extra credit if those same "liberal" pundits haven't ever said shit in criticism of Trump's own mental health)... In either instance, I strongly suggest y'all block/ignore these morons. Don't even argue with them because to argue with them is to repeat the smear.

DUers and other Dems need to identify and react to this shit quickly instead of always playing off the back foot like in 2016...

[SBoy]

51. This is the kiddie pool of claims Biden will have to contend with

If he is the nominee. Trump is the Champion of throwing shit and if this claim gets Biden’s supporters upset, buckle up, it’s going to get a lot worse when the GOP Attack Machine gets going.

[mcar]

53. So, it's OK for team Bernie to spew this crap

because Trump will?

[RazBerryBeret]

60. BS Claim. n/t

[mcar]

63. Huh?

I'm responding to the poster who said just that.

[SBoy]

62. Where did I condone such behavior?

I don’t speak for anybody but myself. Sen Sanders condemned the attacks on his opponents in His Wednesday interview with Rachel. That’s good enough for me. I don’t know why the Biden supporters expend so much energy on Sanders, when the real threat is a Trump 2nd term. I support Bernie, but will gladly vote for Biden

[NYMinute]

52. Cenk is a 5 percenter -- as in he gets votes of 5% of the Democrats

and one can see why. He is as vile as can be.




Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
Either way they are stronger together & can't be bought!!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

[LakeArenal]

54. Nah. I hate those insincere non/apologies they give anyway.

Besides none of them are sorry in the emotional sense. They are just sorry humans.

[yaesu]

55. What, so Bernie is now some sort of hypnotiser that can project thoughts into other peoples minds?

[LongtimeAZDem]

58. Again. Bernie demanded that Biden apalogize for Hilary Rosen's comments. Rosen does not work

for the Biden campaign, and Biden didn't say it. If Bernie feels that Biden has to apologize for Rosen, then I think Bernie has to apologize for Cenk.

But I guess it's OK when Bernie does it.

[Piratedog]

56. Crank has become a fucktard

[Evolve Dammit]

57. Cenk can say whatever he wants. Listened to hate radio lately? I have and it's way, way worse.

Big difference between Cenk saying it and the Sanders campaign. He is not on the Sanders campaign or a spokesperson.

[Todd79]

64. Nor is Rosen a Biden campaign surrogatr

Which I think is the point. Why should Biden have to apologize for something a media supporter said and not Bernie? Bernie’s the one calling on Biden to apologize in a laughingly bad attempt to hurt Biden’s standing in the black community.

[yaesu]

61. I'm still waiting for biden to apologize for voting for that terrible 05 bankruptcy bill

& than voting to bail the banksters out after they crashed the economy & We The People got the shaft. Bernie voted against both.

[Cha]

70. Kick

[Gothmog]

71. Bernie needs to take responsibility for the conduct of his supporters

Link to tweet

?s=20

[Cha]

72. Retweeted!

[SiliconValley_Dem]

73. This is heinous

[ehrnst]

74. Sanders is not known for admitting any errors or faults.

And he's being held accountable for them now.

[Me.]

78. BS Never Takes Responsibilty For Anything

not even his son when he was a baby

[NurseJackie]

80. 👍

Nailed it. That is a big one.

[lucca18]

79. Yes, he should apologize!

The comments that they have been making are despicable!
Seems like the same talking points from both the Sanders and Trump campaigns.

[treestar]

82. That's hilarious

And rather insensitive to those who have it, and their children.
