Clintons Campaign Just Got Busted Impersonating Union Nurses in NevadaAmanda Girard | February 20, 2016
Hillary Clintons campaign is attempting to trick Bernie Sanders supporters in Nevada into voting for Clinton by disguising themselves as nurses affiliated with the National Nurses United union (NNU), which has thrown its support behind Sanders.
NNU executive director RoseAnn DeMoro caught Clinton staffers red-handed changing from blue Hillary Clinton campaign shirts into red shirts of the same shade as the red shirts NNU members are wearing, in an apparent attempt to confuse voters:

The shirts Hillarys campaign workers are wearing are nearly identical to the shirts NNU nurses wear on the campaign trail with Bernie:

The t-shirt dupe was reported just after precincts opened for todays Nevada caucus, which may very well shape the entire trajectory of the remaining Democratic primaries and caucuses. The stakes for Bernie Sanders couldnt be higher, as a win in a state like Nevada, with prominent Latino/Hispanic representation, would prove his viability with voters of color.
