Briahna Gray lied to John Berman on CNN this morning and got caught!

[George II]

Remember this when Sanders claims people who attack the other candidates aren't part of his campaign.

[Me.]

3. As Far As I'm Concerned This Issue Is A Complete Disqualifier

And he must know it as he won't release the records

[Cha]

4. It's unreal.. anyone would release their Full

Medical records for Transparency that they said they were going to release unless they didn't think it was a good idea anymore.

[Me.]

24. It's A Problem

Good Night Hoa

[Cha]

28. ..

[George II]

6. In the midst of complaining about a "smear campaign" she smears Bloomberg. Unbelievable!

[Cha]

9. Right.. steeped in said "smears" of her

own making.

[dalton99a]

2. I hope she gets a spot as Minister of Information in the Revolutionary government

Sirota can be our Minister of Truth

[showblue22]

5. So the "smear" campaign is against Bloomberg.

[highplainsdem]

7. Despicable. She has to know that's a lie. This was a decision made at the top of

the Sanders campaign to lie about Bloomberg's health, to try to shift attention away from Sanders breaking his promise to release his medical records.

This is contemptible.

[awesomerwb1]

8. Sanders hires his attacks dogs

He's ok with whatever they do as long as it helps him achieve his ultimate goal.

Win at any cost. He's ok with that.

[still_one]

10. Hillary hating, Jill Stein supporter, Briahna Joy Gray, along with

David Sirota, and Nina Turner

need I say more?

[George II]

12. See ya.

[dware]

19. That was fast.

MIRT taking out the trash.

[PatrickforO]

35. Yeah, LOL.

Say bye to that guy................or should I say troll.

[dware]

18. Welcome back.

Enjoy your stay.

[DanTex]

13. She's absolutely right. Again, it's a double standard the media tries to use against Bernie.

[George II]

14. She said Bloomberg has suffered heart attacks. He hasn't. Not one.

[Peacetrain]

15. The issue is... is that Bernie said he was going to release his full records!!

No one else but him.. and now he isn't??

[DanTex]

16. And he has, to the same level of detail as other candidates.

If you won't vote for any candidate unless you see their EKG readout, well, that's up to you.

[Peacetrain]

21. "The American people have a right to know whether the person they're going to be voting for for

president is healthy" Nov 2019 ....

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8020401/Bernie-Sanders-78-says-NOT-release-medical-records-just-months-heart-attack.html

[dware]

22. He said he would release his full medical records,

then he had a heart attack, after that, he refused to do so, that would lead a reasonable person to believe that there's something in those records that would sink his candidacy.

For the record, I favor full disclosure of medical records from all candidates.

[Peacetrain]

23. Dan I know you are a huge Bernie supporter..as I am a Biden supporter!!

can you imagine how you would react if say, Steyer had a heart issue in Oct. He had 2 stents put in. In Nov he says he is going to release his full records.. 3 months later he says no. Would that no make you question what is going on with Steyer, especially if he could be the winner who will take on Trump..

[DanTex]

27. Or, what if Bloomberg hat two stents put in, and didn't disclose it for seven years?

https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/28/nyregion/28bloomberg.html

Maybe we should all worry about things that matter, you know, like healthcare policy or education or climate...

[Peacetrain]

34. Dan you hit the nub of the problem!

We are not here out of hating Bernie Sanders! No I do not think he is the best person, and you do not think Joe or Mike are the best people for the run.. the problem is Sen Sanders said he was going to release his full records three months ago, not three years ago, seven years ago thirty years ago..

And he has promised many things. If he is not willing to keep a promise he made three months ago on the campaign trail, then what other promises is he not going to keep.

[DanTex]

43. He has released his records, with the same full-ness as anyone else.

If you don't want to vote for him unless you see his EKG readout, that's fine. I'm guessing about 0% of the electorate is concerned about that.

If Bernie wants to release is EKG readout, that's fine with me. If not, that's also fine with me. Maybe he's risking the EKG aficionado vote, but somehow I think people care more about climate, education, healthcare, etc. :shrug":

[dware]

37. Or maybe we should worry if our possible nominee

would drop dead in the WH because of something he refused to disclose to the public?

Think that could be an issue?
Why won't he release those records?
Why is he now refusing to after having an MI?

[George II]

40. Bloomberg wasn't running for President in 2000 or 2007. He also wasn't 78 years old back then.

[DanTex]

44. And I don't particularly care about Bloomberg's heart condition either.

[eilen]

54. Having 2 stents is not the same thing as having a heart attack.

He could have had some symptoms, went to his cardiologist and had a cath and found some blockages >90% without a heart attack-- and stented them (or it could just be one lesion needing 2 stents). I don't know where the stents are but that is material to their coronary disease.

An actual heart attack can be a problem, depending on what grade it is, if heart wall function is hypokinetic, if ejection fraction is decreased.

Of course CAD is a chronic disease. It can recur. Hardly any American over 50 is free of heart disease but some have it worse than others. Some risk factors you can't do much about (heredity, age, gender), some you can (stress, diet, habitus, smoking/non smoking, drug use, exercise).

[dware]

20. How about providing a link to Mike having a heart attack?

You can't, because he didn't, so that would make her a liar.

[DanTex]

26. Apparently she was referring to the stent procedure which Bloomberg didn't disclose for 7 years.

https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/28/nyregion/28bloomberg.html

[dware]

30. She said heart attacks,

which is far different from a stent, any educated person knows this, so, IMO, she was deliberately lying trying to smear Mr. Bloomberg, which reflects badly on the Sanders campaign.

[George II]

32. She said heart attackS.

[dware]

45. Yes she did,

edited my post to reflect that.
Thanks.

[DanTex]

33. Evidently she misspoke, or misunderstood the nature of Bloomberg's condition.

[dware]

42. No, she didn't,

This is a pattern of the Sanders campaign, she knew exactly what she was saying and why she was saying it, she was trying to smear Mr. Bloomberg while at the same time, deflect from the fact that Mr. Sanders was reneging on his promise of full transparency.

[Cha]

39. Apparently she "misspoke".

Washington (CNN)Sen. Bernie Sanders' national press secretary on Wednesday distorted Michael Bloomberg's past heart issues and called questions about the Vermont senator's health and requests for additional records a "smear" campaign.

Sanders spokeswoman Briahna Joy Gray later said she misspoke when she said Bloomberg had experienced heart attacks in the past.

[True Blue American]

47. I have another word

For misspoke! It has 3 letters.

[Cha]

48. Yeah, we all do!

[True Blue American]

50. :)

[Cha]

25. she's Absolutely Wrong.

[Cha]

38. Now she's saying she "missspoke".

Washington (CNN)Sen. Bernie Sanders' national press secretary on Wednesday distorted Michael Bloomberg's past heart issues and called questions about the Vermont senator's health and requests for additional records a "smear" campaign.

Sanders spokeswoman Briahna Joy Gray later said she misspoke when she said Bloomberg had experienced heart attacks in the past.

[Codeine]

17. Baghdad Briahna assures us

that everything is fine.

[lapfog_1]

49. yup- Kevin Bacon did it best

[jmg257]

29. Right. I guess heart surgery to implement a couple stents because of a blocked artery

Is NOT the same as a heart attack!

Before he was elected mayor in 2001, Michael R. Bloomberg had surgery to have two stents implanted in a coronary artery because of blockage in his heart, a person with knowledge of Mr. Bloomberg’s health said last night.

Mayor Bloomberg has not had heart disease since the stents were put in, according to this person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Mr. Bloomberg had not authorized release of the information. The mayor is in excellent health today, this person said.

https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/28/nyregion/28bloomberg.html

[George II]

36. You're right, they're not the same but are completely different.

[jmg257]

41. Yep - "tiredness and discomfort" - sounds like my dad when he had a "Heart attack"...

Man what a mess THAT was, to find out how bad it actually was!

Edit: he got a pacemaker, not stents

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

31. She like Nina Turner is a LIAR

Skeptical and smears are two different things.

[lapfog_1]

46. I love how she tried to equivalence asking Bernie to release medical records

to the birtherism against Obama.

then casually dropping in the lie that mike has had multiple heart attacks in the past.

As someone who has suffered from "irregular heart beats (Wolfe-Parkinson-White)" all my life, this is a particurly ugly lie.

[krissey]

51. Also said had 64 sexual assaults and was his company. Also said Democratic voters are brithers.

Yes, this would be Sanders staffers.

[George II]

52. Not just a staffer but the person who speaks for him and the campaign.

[krissey]

53. Also saying the first woman nomination for president was a "hold your nose" candidate.

And they are DEMANDING I vote for this man that is not even a Democrat, using our resources and causing chaos in our primary for the second time.
