Bernie Sanders has two sets of "investments". One is in backing Hillary. The other is being a stooge for his new "Revolution" group. And considering that the base for the latter hates the former, the freeloading Socialist has a basic conflict. Bernie shrugged it off when Hillary called his supporters, basement dwellers. But even he's having trouble with this one.
Sen. Bernie Sanders reacted Saturday to a hacked batch of emails from the campaign of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton which appeared to reveal excerpts from Clinton's private paid speeches to Wall Street by reaffirming his support for her party's agenda.
"Whatever Secretary Clinton may or may not have said behind closed doors on Wall Street, I am determined to implement the agenda of the Democratic Party platform, which was agreed to by her campaign," read the statement provided to NBC News by Sanders' spokesman Michael Briggs.
Considering that Bernie couldn't organize a race riot at a KKK Black Lives Matter BBQ, that shouldn't inspire too much confidence in his supporters.
Supporters of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Saturday expressed anger and vindication over leaked comments made by Hillary Clinton to banks and big business that appeared to confirm their fears about her support for global trade and tendency to cozy up to Wall Street.
Don't worry, Bernie is carefully avoiding the issue.
