1. ...

Do they think this would work on African Americans? Most already consider Nina a clown.

[Poeraria]

2. No he doesn't.

[tishaLA]

3. Is Ms Rosen actually a Biden surrogate?

I thought she was a CNN contributor who supports VP Biden, not an actual campaign surrogate.

[George II]

40. No she's not. Her title is "Democratic Strategist" for CNN. No connection to Biden's campaign.

Sanders should know that and, is he doesn't Nina Turner should know that.

[Cha]

4. omg!!!

[empedocles]

5. Tuesday is coming fast, tho not fast enough. Enough BS already.

[tman]

6. Desperate

[FreepFryer]

7. "A sphincter says what?" Puhlease.

Sanders’ days of making actual Democrats’ eyes roll are definitely coming to a middle.

[underpants]

9. A. She's not. And. B. She already did

[DURHAM D]

18. Seems that BS is poorly staffed as they don't

keep him and each other up-to-date.

[grantcart]

95. Very good catch

[underpants]

108. Thanks. As DURHAM D says above - not too impressed with his staff

[matt819]

10. Stop whining, please

Please, please, stop whining.

Just. stop. it.

[democrattotheend]

11. Really?

I get what Bernie is doing - pointing out how he is held to a double standard with regard to his surrogates. But this tweet seems tasteless considering what Biden just tweeted about condemning the Nazi flag at Bernie's rally.

[LizBeth]

19. He is not held to a double standard. Not a surrogate, and she apologized already. Dishonest.

[LexVegas]

12. Jesus Fucking Christ.

[PubliusEnigma]

13. desperation stinks

[NurseJackie]

14. Haaaaaa!

The stress is getting to him!





Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

[ZenDem]

30. omg...

...your sig line...



I was about to spin my scroll wheel and then I was all like, "Wait...wut?"

[NurseJackie]

32. ...

[tishaLA]

37. It's some of the best trolling I've seen LOL

[Just_Vote_Dem]

41. It's awesome

[grantcart]

94. Juvenile isn't it. Reminds me of something sophmoric I have seen some where lol

[ZenDem]

106. I can't quite put my finger on it.

[LizBeth]

38. He sounds like a little boy that got in trouble for something and now wants to point the

finger at every one else to make them have to say sorry. This is the stupidest thing he has done in a long time.

[NurseJackie]

44. That's an excellent comparison... thank you!

It just sounds juvenile and petty. It certainly doesn't sound like the type of demeanor and temperament that deserves to be the leader of our party.

MEANWHILE... this happened:

Joe is a class act!

[mcar]

60. Joe is a class act

Let's recap: candidate J supports candidate B against a Nazi, candidate B and his staff/supporters use RW talking points to attack candidate J.

[Happyhippychick]

57. I see what you did there In your signature line

[NurseJackie]

58. ...

Thanks. I had some help and we were inspired.

[FreepFryer]

59. Phyllis Diller is my muse (Nt)

[nolabear]

73. ...

[showblue22]

15. She's not a campaign surrogate and she apologized

Bernie is trying to stoke anger within his supporters,

[pazzyanne]

22. Ummm, that tactic has a familiar ring. nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

17. Bernie is right, as usual. I hope Joe apologizes.

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[LizBeth]

24. She is not a surrogate and she already apologized. Everything Sanders said was wrong.

[LizBeth]

25. Sanders MUST apologize for dishonestly stating the woman is Biden's surrogate.

[still_one]

56. +++

[NurseJackie]

28. She's not a surrogate. Bernie is wrong.

He's starting to crack under pressure. The stress is getting to him.






Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

[IluvPitties]

34. He shouldn't apologize.

Bernie is desperate, and looks pathetic doing this.

[relayerbob]

47. He supported Bernie re: the Nazi

but you're ok with Sanders attacking Biden with someone unrelated to the campaign's words?

Can we demand some apologies for Nina's constant negative spin and lies?

[11 Bravo]

51. In this instance Bernie was right about absolutely NOTHING!

Not only is she not a Biden surrogate, but she has ALREADY apologized for her statement.

[grantcart]

96. Not a surrogate. Don't you occasionally get a fact correct.?

You should apologize for spreading another false Sanders meme

[Grokenstein]

20. Shoo.

Did this come before or after Biden stood up for you against Nazis? (looks) Wow, half an hour later. I won't ask you to apologize, I know that you don't play that.

[DURHAM D]

21. They are just trying to change the subject away

from what Elizabeth Warren said about Bernie and his staff yesterday.

Won't work.

They are pathetic.

[PatSeg]

23. That's a stretch

People in glass houses and all that jazz.

[George II]

26. BS. First Hillary Rosen isn't an offical Biden surrogate, she's just a Democratic "strategist", and.

....second, Rosen had already apologized this morning. Doesn't Sanders Campaign Chair?

Sanders should look at the things his surrogates and his own EMPLOYEES say almost daily and make them apologize for all of that garbage Turner, Gray, Sirota, Shaun King, etc. spew out.

Did HE apologize for Tlaib booing Hillary Clinton a few weeks ago, or Omar and Jayapal laughing almost off their stools that night?

You know what they say, "people who live in glass houses....."

[NYMinute]

69. Also, when has Nina Turner ever apologized for a myriad of hateful things she has uttered

and continues to?

This whole thing was a setup to rile up black voters - a very machiavellian act.

[beachbumbob]

27. has bernie apologize for the abuse his supporters did with Betsy Londrigan, Il-13th candidate yet?

if not, take a hike sanders you 2-face hypocrite

[lapucelle]

82. BS National Surrogate DrDooleyMD during the 2016 general election campaign.

29. He's lying about what happened

I saw it as a disagreement about interpreting words/intentions and Turner went crazy mad about it making it a racial issue.
It's unbelievable how dishonest and divisive he is. He's lying to get his followers riled up. This is exactly what Trump is doing.

[IluvPitties]

31. Bernie and Nina haven't understood why they are losing this thing.

This is an example of it.

[SidDithers]

33. FFS...

I'm really starting not to like that guy.

Sid

[William769]

35. Looks like someone else needs to step away from twitter. nt

[lamp_shade]

36. I just banged my forehead on my desktop. nt

[NurseJackie]

39. Meanwhile... Bernie totally ignores this. (Joe is a CLASS ACT!)

Link to tweet

[dalton99a]

42. Come to think of it, Hillary must apologize to Sirota

[msongs]

43. bernie who? nt

[jrthin]

45. Oh, just go away. nt

[Lulu KC]

46. I'm with Joe, but I don't hate Bernie

and it's hurting me to watch him hurt himself.
Dude. Make an appointment with your therapist. Work it out privately. Come on.

[RandySF]

48. The gaslighting continues.

[Squinch]

49. Blech.

[wiley]

50. Do the people of color Sanders refers to actually live in the USA?

Perhaps the thousands of cites for this desperate and pathetic tweet are from somewhere outside the USA?

[doc03]

52. Bernie would you like some cheese with that? nt

[LakeArenal]

53. Imagine Nina Turner as VP

That should end your appetite.

[MineralMan]

54. Just as soon as Nina Turner apologizes for voting for Jill Stein, Bernie.

Ask her to do that, won't you? I'll wait right here.

[still_one]

55. Sanders needs to apologize for hiring Jill Stein supporter Gray, and Hillary hating Sirota and Turne

[ace3csusm]

61. No he shouldnt

Saw this live yesterday, Nina mad because she was corrected what MLK said...SHe didnt like it that she was wrong...

[Pisces]

62. Ridiculous

[Demsrule86]

63. She doesn't work for the campaign...CNN strategist...and she did apologize...too bad. I got called

the C word on Twitter not long ago...you bet your butt I reported it.

[mcar]

64. You first, Senator

?s=20

[zackymilly]

65. Joe, please apologize for kicking Bernie's ass. n/t

[Callado119]

66. I smell the stench of desperation...

...I suspect Biden is going to put BS’ campaign to bed on Tuesday in MI..and they know it...

[oasis]

90. If they're attempting to muddy up Joe in order to get low AA turnout for him,

they are headed to an epic fail.

[Atticus]

67. Bernie should apologize that he continues to associate himself with Nina. nt

[Scurrilous]

68. Candidate & co chair carp for causeless contrition as campaign continues careening into culverts.

This is no way to win the nomination.

[George II]

70. Clever!

[Scurrilous]

74. I see what you did there.

[George II]

75. Aw, you ruined it. Shoulda said "I cee what you did there"!!!!

[Jedi Guy]

76. Cleverly contrived. Congratulations! N/T

[BidenBacker]

104. Let me try one

Bozo Bernie bombastically bashes Biden by broadcasting bogus baiting bullshit but barely banks bonus ballots because bright beings balked.

[Scurrilous]

110. Very nice. You win by a length.

Damn, your name too LOL.

[Gothmog]

71. Then sanders need to apologize to JOHN Lewis and the estate of Elijah Cummings

[NurseJackie]

72. The pressure is getting to him! I can't stop laughing every time this thread pops to the top!

It's so ridiculous and absurd!

[MFGsunny]

77. Pot. Kettle.

While the irony is delicious, the deluded are ironic.

Sir, You have trashed any semblance of decency, honor or respect. IMHO.

[dem4decades]

78. I'm glad Bernie speaks for African Americans that already spoke for themselves by voting for Biden.

Can't make this shit up.

[evertonfc]

79. Dear Bernie

Joe ain't gotta do shit. - a former supporter

[DemKittyNC]

80. I can not wait

for this clown to go away!

This reeks of desperation. Anything to throw at the fan in order to get it to stick to Biden.

[Wabbajack_]

81. I don't think anyone needs to apoligize for something SOMEONE ELSE says

That goes for Bernie's "surrogates" too.

[GemDigger]

83. You gotta be freakin kidding me Bernie. There should have been dozens out of your mouth the

past couple of weeks from your people. The buck does not stop with Bernie but the buck stops everywhere else according to him.

[rownesheck]

84. How about Nina Turner

apologize for being Nina Turner.

[nolawarlock]

85. This is utterly infuriating

Just in case anyone needs proof of why the Bernie Bros are the way they are, it's top down. Hours after Joe Biden respectfully spoke against the terrible and vicious anti-semitic attack against Sanders, Sanders posts this demand that Biden apologize for something one of his surrogates said. When is Bernie going to apologize for all the vicious things Nina Turner and David Sirota have said? When is he going to apologize for all the sexism, homophobia, and racism of the Bros? This is just disgusting. Biden's got class. He didn't need to be asked to speak against anti-semitism against Bernie. He just did it. And this is Bernie's response. He's disgusting. He's Trump with a leftist agenda. And if he's the nominee, it will be the hardest vote I've ever had to make because I am still blue no matter who.

[Piratedog]

86. Even if he were to do that, it wouldn't take more than 5 minutes

To apologize to all his supporters of color.

[oasis]

89. Please explain.

[grantcart]

98. If Biden were to personally call all of Sanders supporters of color it would take 4 minutes

[frazzled]

87. This is tragic

And you know what they say about tragedy: it turns into farce.

Between the fake Obama ad, yelling at the media, and now this, it’s becoming the caricature of an unhinged candidate. He really should rein it is before he loses credibility and descends into real farce.

[oasis]

88. ARE YOU F'KING KIDDING ME?

I've seen grasping at straws in my day, but a multi million dollar campaign coming up with this weak ass shit?

[fallout87]

91. Yes he should

If this were Bernie, y'all would be demanding it. As a person of color, I find his comment reprehensible.

[nolawarlock]

93. His comment?

Are you intentionally misgendering Hilary Rosen?

[grantcart]

99. His comment? Who is the "he" you are referring to?

1) comment not made by a male
2) comment not made by Biden
3) comment not made by anyone w Biden campaign

Nina Turner, like many of Sanders senior advisers, hates the Democratic Party and did not vote for Sec Clinton.

[BidenBacker]

102. I'm curious

As a person of color, do you also find this reprehensible?

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/02/sanders-obama-primary-challenge/606709/

[ucrdem]

92. Wow. That's . . . bold.

Is he okay?

[Lady_Chat]

97. Bernie should apologize for his fake Obama ad

Talk about desperate. Bernie wanted to primary Obama.

[RhodeIslandOne]

100. Someone tell Bernie this is a woman who got an endorsement from Bill Clinton....

......for a fucking SoS race and turned on him and Hillary.

You wanna talk about snakes.

[33taw]

101. I'd rather hear your policy proposals and funding.

[BidenBacker]

103. I love the smell of desperation in the morning

smells like...victory.

[Gothmog]

105. Has sanders apologized for his staffers?

Link to tweet

[madaboutharry]

107. Hilary Rosen is not a Biden surrogate.

She has no connection to the Biden campaign. Joe doesn’t owe anyone an apology.

Bernie is full of it. I am so tired of faux outrage.

[Owl]

109. No he doesn't.
