http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-panel-rips-sanders-not-above-the-fray-supporters-traffic-in-conspiracy-theories/CNN panelists piled on Bernie Sanders this afternoon and took on some of the more concerning elements surrounding his campaign.
The discussion focused on what Jake Tapper referred to as an ugly convention in Nevada, where Sanders supporters got angry and violent and threatening. Sanders issued a statement offering a general condemnation of violence, but that is not tamping down the outrage.
New York Times correspondent and CNN analyst Maggie Haberman called out the narrative that Sanders is above politics and above the fray when he is engaging in character attacks about Clinton in questioning her Wall Street ties.
And on top of that, CNN senior political reporter Nia-Malika Henderson said that Sanders has taken the low road in some of the accusations hes thrown at Clinton about collusion.
His supporters, she said, sometimes kind of do traffic in conspiracy theories and this idea that somehow the DNC is rigged against them.

to what lies at the core of the Sanders campaign.
