‘What!?’ Camerota stunned when Bloomberg adviser drops salacious, but longstanding allegations against Bernie
February 25, 2020 | Tom Tillison
An interesting dynamic is playing out on the left now that socialist Bernie Sanders has emerged as the clear front-runner in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.
On one hand, there’s actual vetting of Sanders beginning to happen by some media outlets. At the same time, a concerted effort is afoot in others to convince Democrats, and the nation, that the cantankerous senator from Vermont is really electable.
And then there’s the Bloomberg campaign.
Tim O’Brien, a senior adviser to billionaire Michael Bloomberg, appeared Tuesday on CNN to highlight the “loony side†of Bernie Sanders — there’s a reason he’s referred to as “Crazy Bernie†— as well as his policy failures.
“He hasn’t been vetted as thoroughly by the media as some of the other candidates, other Democrats on the stage,†O’Brien said of Sanders.
The most remarkable thing about his effort was the reaction of CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota, who was “gobsmacked†to hear O’Brien reference allegations about rape fantasies and Sanders saying cancer in women is connected to having orgasms and that children should run around naked to insulate themselves from porn.
“What?! What?!†Camerota responds, as O’Brien rattles off allegations that have been out there since the 2016 election cycle.
