Sort of amusing as Clintonistas complain Sanders received some praise from, oh the horror of it all, a political group aligned with the Koch Bros.
"Freedom Partners, the group at the center of billionaire Charles Koch's political network, debuted a video praising Bernie Sanders for his opposition to corporate welfare on Wednesday. Clinton supporters hit Sanders on the video, and Sanders' campaign shot back. Both candidates also discussed the issue in the Univision debate in Miami, Fla., on Wednesday night.
"The leaders of the fossil fuel industries, the Koch brothers, have just paid for an ad that supports Sanders," Clinton declared in the Univision debate. Earlier that day, her supporters claimed the video was proof that the Koch network was trying to help Sanders, allegedly because the Kochs see Sanders as an easier foe to beat in the general election."
Sanders, though, would have none of it. To be associated with the Kochs *shudder*
"Sanders shot back, declaring that no one in Congress has fought against the Kochs more than he has. Earlier today, Sanders' campaign responded to the video, claiming that it was meant to hurt the Vermont senator by creating the perception that he is the Kochs' favored candidate. This association would be toxic in the Democratic primary. Indeed, Sanders' digital fundraising manager, Michael Whitney, said the ad was a "contribution" to the Clinton campaign."
