Lib fight!
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-sand...n-politics
Quote:Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign spokesman unloaded on Hillary Clinton and her team on Monday, calling them the "biggest a--holes in American politics," after former members of Clinton's campaign leaked details this week about Sanders' use of private jets to attend campaign rallies on her behalf.
Speaking to Politico, the spokesman, Michael Briggs, proceeded to call Clinton's staff "total ingrates," given that Sanders claims he billed the Clinton-Kaine campaign for private air travel in order to attend events that he otherwise would have needed to skip.
“You can see why she’s one of the most disliked politicians in America," Briggs said, referring to Clinton. "She’s not nice. Her people are not nice. [Sanders] busted his tail to fly all over the country to talk about why it made sense to elect Hillary Clinton and the thanks that [we] get is this kind of petty stupid sniping a couple years after the fact.”
Briggs added: “It doesn’t make me feel good to feel this way but they’re some of the biggest a--holes in American politics."
Several former Clinton staffers, also speaking to Politico, reported that Sanders' frequent requests for private planes from the campaign became “a running joke in the office" -- in part because Sanders is a socialist, and also because he has pushed for the elimination of carbon-generating heavy aircraft in favor of high-speed rail networks. In all, Sanders reportedly billed the Clinton-Kaine campaign approximately $100,000 for air travel.
Quote:Sanders spokesperson Arianna Jones, though, maintained that Sanders put everything he had into helping Clinton once she had secured the Democratic nomination. Jones said it was physically impossible for Sanders to get to all of the Clinton event locations in such a short period of time without chartered flights, especially since the senator was traveling to many smaller markets with limited commercial air travel options.
“That’s why chartered flights were used: to make sure Sen. Sanders could get to as many locations as quickly as possible in the effort to help the Democratic ticket defeat Donald Trump,” Sanders spokeswoman Arianna Jones told Politico. "Sen. Sanders campaigned so aggressively for Secretary Clinton, at such a grueling pace, it became a story unto itself, setting the model for how a former opponent can support a nominee in a general election.”
Jones reported that in the three months prior to the November 2016 election, Sanders supported Clinton by attending 39 rallies in 13 states.

Sanders saying what everybody but a few delusional Democrats already knew.
I could understand people supporting her. I still can't understand anyone being enthused about her.

I've voted for her twice in Texas democrat primaries. And I'll register democrat and vote for her again in 2020. I'd rather have a flaming a-hole than a socialist/communist.

Obama's people coming out swinging at Hillary's people calling them a bunch of hypocrites. It is the people that are close and around the Clintons that are destroying the Democratic party. I would vote for Bernie over the lying biotch.

Shocker that a freeloader supports the person who promises the most stuff.

Not a shocker to me that's who he is. Today on the local news there was a segment about handicapped store greeters getting the boot (all greeters actually) but I hold more respect for them than this one who posts on our site. All he knows how to do is complain and put out his hand for a handout.
I'm with you Tigers 98, I would not vote for any lying, un-American Demoncrap ever.

I think here's an anomaly in that, for once, dems are telling the truth.
Team Sanders is telling the truth about Team HilLIARy and Team HilLIARy is telling the truth about Team Sanders.
Go figure.
