In Michigan -- must win for Sanders -- he sounded miffed about Gov. Whitmer's endorsement of Biden: “Well, that wasn’t her thoughts when I came here to help her get elected, as a matter of fact.''

1. didn't he support the effort to primary her?

Or am I thinking of another MI dem?

[George II]

4. Nope, he campaigned for her primary opponent, Abdul El-Sayed. She won by 22%.

[NurseJackie]

13. Wait! Huh? Bernie campaigned for her primary opponent then acts miffed that she didn't endorse him?

Oh dear!

And then he tries to take credit for her win?

[RandySF]

5. Yes

But he showed up for a single rally with her later. Joe did numerous appearances.

6. I believe Sanders backed Abdul El- Sayed in the 2018 primary

Whitmer had to win that primary to run for governor

23. MI-GOV: Nina Turner and Bernie Sanders to campaign for El-Sayed in Michigan

2. WHAT? He and his "squad" actively campaigned for her primary opponent, Abdul El-Sayed....

He would have preferred that El-Sayed won. Thankfully she beat him by 22% and won the general election.

3. Sounds a bit like you-know-who.

8. No kidding.

19. uh huh

[TwilightZone]

7. After he supported her primary opponent.

Hmm.

9. That statement is incredibly disengenuous of Sanders.

He did everything that he could to insure that she lost the democratic primary. Biden was behind her from Day1 and showed up for her during the primary. And when her opponent said horrible lies about her, Bernie still supported him.

[showblue22]

10. He's either lying or doesn't remember..

Both are bad.

[Laelth]

11. Credit where it is due.

Bernie is willing to fight for the idea that the American people deserve THE WHOLE CHICKEN.

12. Bernie, Benie, Bernie...have you become forgetful?

You campaigned for her primary opponent. Remember? I do.

[NCProgressive]

14. There goes Bernie, rewriting history and distorting reality

[LizBeth]

15. Just how can he and supporters have him run as the integrity candidate. He actively primaried her

and now acts like he helped her win. One rally after she beat who he was supporting while Biden did many. Blows my mind. I have such a hard time with in your face hypocrisy.

[BidenBacker]

16. What's next?

Sanders: "If it wasn't for me, FDR woulda lost to Hoover back in '32 and then we never woulda had the New Deal!"

Here's hoping a half dozen more states get colored Biden blue on Tuesday so we can end this thing in a few weeks if not sooner.

[Ouimette]

17. he supported her opponent

He is confused

[Doreen]

18. Sounds like trump giving himself credit for stuff that he did not do.

Hmm.

[RandySF]

21. He showed up in Ann Arbor just before the November election.

[mcar]

20. Bernie's either lying or getting forgetful

[Pathwalker]

24. This is a damned lie! He did NOT try to help her!

Speaks very, very badly for you, Bernie!
