MSNBC has been misreporting today that March For Our Lives endorsed Bernie Sanders

Some members of MFOL endorsed Sanders weeks ago, but the group itself has NOT endorsed anyone and had to put out a statement to that effect today:

Link to tweet

I don't know how this false story got launched today on MSNBC, or exactly when it was launched, but I've seen a lot of tweets about it.

It's interesting that it happened the same day that the Brady Campaign endorsed Joe Biden.

BS has been carrying water for the NRA for decades.

No real anti-gun violence group would endorse BS.

And any effort to block biden at the convention will fail.

the MOST important decision left to be made is who will be the VP pick? This may well be the difference between success & failure. Biden needs someone that voters will look at and say "Well, if anything happens to Joe, I know "X" can handle the job". I believe McCain picking Palin was a major reason for his failure. People looked at her and thought, "Oh lord, if anything happens to McCain, SHE takes over??? Oh, hell no. No way in hell"
I dont care who it is, he or she MUST be immediate presidential material
