Bernie Sanders may have apologized to Joe Biden for an op-ed a surrogate wrote calling Biden "corrupt," but Sanders isn't easing up on his attacks on the former vice president for things Biden's said in the past about Social Security. Late Tuesday night, Sanders tweeted, "Let's be honest, Joe. One of us fought for decades to cut Social Security, and one of us didn't. But don't take it from me. Take it from you."
He attached a video clip of then-Senator Biden on the Senate floor from 1995 making this statement:
"When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans' benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the government. And I not only tried it once I tried it twice. I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time."
Biden tweeted Tuesday night, "I've been fighting to protect and expand Social Security for my whole career. Any suggestion otherwise is just flat-out wrong." The tweet was accompanied by a video defending Biden, with op-ed headlines accusing Sanders of negative and dishonest attacks against Biden. "Bernie's campaign is not telling the truth," the video says, concluding, "Bernie's negative attacks won't change the truth: Joe Biden is still the strongest Democrat to beat Donald Trump."
Joe supporters are not going to change
It will not scare seniors. I like Joe's plan..not going to believe any smears on Joe...no matter what....
Go Joe 😎
