Twitter Responds: "Sanders accuses Clinton of cozying up to Obama for AA Votes"

In @BET interview, Sanders accuses Clinton of cozying up to Obama in order to win African-American votes:

TWITTER ANSWERS:

@ABCLiz @BET A friend that he wanted to have primaried? Bye Bernie

@ABCLiz @BET But did he have the spine to say what exactly?

@ABCLiz @BET He is so full of shit. Sanders is realizing that if he hadn't trashed PBO from jump, he might be winning. Now? Not so much.

@ABCLiz @goldietaylor Sanders would make sense if he didn't float the idea of a primary challenge. That's a bit more than "disagreements".

@ABCLiz @BET why isn't it cozying up to offer free college? Just because it's a largely black issue, it's "cozying up"?

@ABCLiz @BET she did serve him in his administration as SOS. Funny he omits that little detail.

@ABCLiz @goldietaylor @BET I will be as pleased when we're done with Sanders as when we're done w Trump. Flip sides of same noxious coin.

@ABCLiz @BET Says the magician who campaigns with Obama haters Cornel West & Killer Mike

@ABCLiz @BET HRC was POTUS' SoS & she's embraced him since she started her campaign. Sounds like Sanders has some jealousy issues.

And that's just for starters..
He's sounding more & more like a Republican every time he speaks. But we already knew that didn't we..

So Bernie completely discounts the fact she was his Sec. Of State and they developed a close working relationship? He has to be smarter than that.

... that Hill's support of Obama has been abundantly clear throughout his tenure in office, and is not a newly-taken position in order to garner votes.

But then, what Bernie doesn't know is a LOT - and he keeps confirming his lack of knowledge every time he opens his mouth.

That's really an insulting comment. Hillary has worked for years on issues affecting the AA community, Latinos and all minority communities, anyone and everyone who needed a voice above the fray. I guess she's been cozying up to women and children as well. She's a far better person than I am after that bruising 2008 campaign by immediately campaigning for President Obama and even joined his Administration as his SOS. Without a single complaint, only support.

Her speech this week in Harlem was amazing and her reception by the residents even more so. There's a reason for that. History, hard work and action. For decades.

But please, Senator, continue the shoddy criticism. It makes you look very small.

Sheesh!

He has been trashing the party since elementary school, now he wants in and he does not understand why everyone is not flocking to him.

Bernie wanted to primary Obama in 2012. That is a fact.

Nothing's too demeaning for this guy.

When this is all over we should definitely revisit all the insults he hurled at Hillary while desperately trying to catch up to her.

"What he’s really saying here is that President Obama and Hillary Clinton don’t have a genuine bond of affection and respect. That the woman who served as his Secretary of State isn’t really his friend, she’s cynically using him like a chess piece to attract black voters."

Barbara Morrill ??@BarbinMD
That's insulting to Clinton, Obama and AA voters. Quite the trifecta there, Bernie. https://twitter.com/ABCLiz/status/700435385856331776
