Sanders appears to blame Russian "help" for the toxic twitter faction.

He also seems to think that WaPo has ulterior motives for breaking the story now.

Bernie Sanders briefed by U.S. officials that Russia is trying to help his presidential campaign

Asked why the briefing was reported now, a month later, Sanders said: “I’ll let you guess about one day before the, the Nevada caucus. Why do you think it came out?”

Sanders pointed to a Post reporter and said sarcastically: “It was The Washington Post? Good friends.”

snip===================================================================

Sanders’s opponents have blamed some of his most vocal online supporters for injecting toxic rhetoric into the primaries. At a Democratic candidates debate Wednesday in Las Vegas, Sanders indirectly blamed Russia, saying it was possible that malign actors were trying to manipulate social media to inflame divisions among Democrats.

“All of us remember 2016, and what we remember is efforts by Russians and others to try to interfere in our elections and divide us up,” Sanders said. “I’m not saying that’s happening, but it would not shock me.”

U.S. Officials Inform Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump of Russia Election Meddling on Their Behalf: Report

"In 2016, Russia used Internet propaganda to sow division in our country, and my understanding is that they are doing it again in 2020. Some of the ugly stuff on the Internet attributed to our campaign may well not be coming from real supporters," he added.

1. Yeah it's not like Bernie couldn't of CONTROLLED when and how this story came out.

[lapucelle]

5. Why would anybody think that the toxic twitter faction is a form of "help"?

Wasn't he briefed that the Russians are attempting to help him? The toxic twitter faction is a problem.

Why is BS intimating that Russians are responsible for this problem when he was briefed that the Russians are meddling on his behalf?

7. If Bernie was briefed, I'll bet all the candidates were

and it was more than likely treated as classified.
Remember Comey "interfering" in the last pres. election?

2. It's millionaires and billionaires ,the democratic party and now twitter faction.

see a pattern

3. Was Bernie allowed to discuss what he was told in the briefing ???

[lapucelle]

6. BS didn't say.

Sanders told reporters Friday after The Post’s report was published that he received the briefing “about a month ago.” Asked why he did not disclose the briefing publicly, Sanders replied, “Because I go to many intelligence briefings which I don’t reveal to the public.”
