David Axelrod, the former top political adviser to President Barack Obama, said Monday that Hillary Clinton's inner circle should accept more responsibility for the candidate's struggles.

By late Monday afternoon, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta moved to put out the fire, saying in his own tweet, "There is zero truth to what you may be reading. It's wrong. Hillary stands behind her team, period."


Axelrod, Bernstein, Politco all saying similar things generally = there's a problem, John.
