Sanders apologizes to Biden for supporter's op-ed alleging corruption

[left-of-center2012]

Sen. Bernie Sanders apologized to Joe Biden late Monday for an op-ed a prominent supporter wrote accusing the former vice president of having a “big corruption problem,” and Sanders urged his backers to exercise civility on the heels of heated disputes with his rivals.

In an interview with CBS News, Sanders (I-Vt.) expressed contrition for the op-ed, which was written by law professor Zephyr Teachout for the Guardian newspaper and was promoted by the Sanders campaign in a newsletter. Teachout endorsed Sanders last year, and his campaign touted her support.

“It is absolutely not my view that Joe is corrupt in any way. And I’m sorry that that op-ed appeared,” Sanders said in the interview. A Sanders campaign spokesman confirmed his comments.

Biden replied to Sanders on Twitter. “Thanks for acknowledging this, Bernie. These kinds of attacks have no place in this primary. Let’s all keep our focus on making Donald Trump a one-term president,”

1. Remember When We Asked Is Trump Lying or Is He Incompetent?

This reminds me of Trump repeatedly disclaiming any knowledge of the actions taken by his supporters. Michael Flynn, Cohen, Giuliani.

Yet, how many times do we hear Bernie disclaiming responsibility for actions taken by his campaign staff even when their actions mirror his own statements? Either Bernie is lying or he simply lacks the management skills to be President.
