This article points out the uptick in recent devious actions by the Sanders campaign:
"Just one day after a pair of major advocacy groups both accused Bernie Sanders of using print advertising to falsely claiming that they had endorsed him, his campaign is now running television ads which misrepresent the position of an influential Iowa newspaper. The new Sanders ads claim that the Des Moines Register has endorsed him. Thats a problem, because the newspaper has actually endorsed his democratic party rival Hillary Clinton instead."
"Over the past two days the AARP and the League of Conservation Voters have both accused Bernie Sanders of falsely claiming that he had their endorsements, when the AARP hasnt endorsed anyone and the LCV has actually endorsed Clinton. The Nevada Culinary Union has accused Sanders staffers of impersonating union members in order to gain improper access to other members. But the fake Des Moines Register endorsement, which has been documented by the New York Times, may be the most controversial yet."
As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.
