Don Lemon is not happy about Bernie's Obama ad.

He has had 3 people on so far throughout the hour correcting the record and saying the ad is deceptive. Thank you Don Lemon!

i'm still choking on his little dance on gun control. bleating in the debate about his support for an assault weapons ban 30 nyears ago, and his current nra rating, while pretending nothing happened in between. like the brady bill.

This makes me feel a whole better about that.. it's really getting me down.

I wish Pres Obama would ask them to cease and desist but I doubt if that happens.

Things must be REALLY bad if they calculated that whatever small benefit this deceptive ad brings would somehow be worth the fallout and pushback that would inevitably happen.

and I had read something about it on DU earlier but when he showed the ad and explained when, where and what Obama really said I went That ad took everything about Obama out of context. I was surprised Bernie would allow that ad out. He should fire whoever gave it the A-OK.

If so... then it's something that speaks VERY POORLY for Bernie Sanders. Cynical desperation is NOT an example of integrity and leadership.

That ad insinuates that Obama endorsed Bernie. It's deceptive, calling it out is not bashing. After years of trashing Obama's legacy he does this?

The media has apparently backed off from comparing Bernie to coronavirus, or the Nazi invasion of France, but the non-stop bashing hasn't stopped.
