[center]*** HILLARY CLINTON GROUP ***[/center]
former president Bill Clinton was sent to North Korea to make it happen. Yet Dr. Song, a Sanders surrogate, thought it was a good idea to imply that Hillary Clinton was a "corporate Democratic wh***", and Sanders thanked him for his speech!
This is what Lisa Ling's husband, Dr. Paul Song, said so read for yourself:
How can he now claim that he meant Democratic congressmen/women?? His statement is pretty clear, and combine that with being a Sanders surrogate who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination and not congress, how again can he claim he didn't direct his toxic statements at Hillary Clinton, Sanders' only rival? And he implicates President Obama as well since ObamaCare works within the private insurance infrastructure.

Dr. Paul Song should apologize without the "if I offended anybody" qualifier, and do so as publicly as he's made that godawful statement, and Sanders should be ashamed for running an increasingly TOXIC campaign.
If the media are going to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for her surrogate's, Madelaine Albright, remark, then they should hold Sanders to the same standard.

If you have a twitter account, tweet this as much as you can because lapdog media is currently only crowing about Sanders' "27,000 people rally" and are completely MUM about this!

I've tweeted to Jake Tapper as well. See if he does anything with this.

(15,438 posts)Dr. Song's toxic speech is wrong on so many levels! I doubt his wife or his SIL approve of what he said, and his "apology" isn't going to make it right.

Both Laura and Lisa Ling are HRC backers.

(295,909 posts)7 years ago when Bill Clinton and Hillary had an important part in rescuing his sister-in-law from 12 years in jail in North Korea!
I hadn't seen the whole quote before and didn't want to say he was implying the "Democratic *****" about Hillary but now I see he certainly was. He weaseled and lied in his "apology". He said it was "insensitive" for one thing. Stupid.
Has he totally forgotten Bill and Hillary helped get his wife's sister free from a life changing prison sentence in North Korea? And, this is his ******* thanks?! And, even if they hadn't .. this is unacceptable. Who is this person? I hear his wife, Lisa Ling, if supports Hillary.. I wonder if she's furious with him?
Thank you for this BlueCali, excellent OP!

The more I think about it the more despicable it is.
Thanks, though.

(15,438 posts)Doesn't anyone on the Sanders campaign approve pre-written speeches before they allow their supporters on to the podium?? Whether they do or don't, they're responsible for what's said at a pre-planned event.

(24,135 posts)Sanders surrogates are known for their brazen planned attacks on Democrats.

Apparently, MSNBC has reported on it:

(16,104 posts)CNN's Alisyn Camerota (formerly with Fox News) when interviewing multiple guests repeatedly described the clip CNN aired of Dr. Song at the rally as profanity - and she didn't seem to be at all amused with the "whore" word.
I would say this will definitely be a subject pressed by moderators at tonight's CNN debate.
Just one more thing for Bernie to explain.
At the end of the debate tonight, I bet he is going to wish he could just run away...

while hijacking it banner as they can't raise theirs..... When Sanders says he's bringing people in he's not he's bringing people like those that reject the party other than to hijack it for their personal ambitions & goals.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)when it's pretty clear that those people have no intention of becoming Democrats and have more hate for Hillary Clinton than love for Bernie Sanders? It just doesn't jive.

(332 posts)I'd prefer calling them Socialists! And with these and many more nasty remarks and actions against the Democratic Party, I don't see how they were allowed in to begin with !

(86,054 posts)I got tired of Bernie speeches and rallies so I skipped last night's... must be why I missed this.
The more I see and hear of Bernie and his supporters the less I like their campaign and tactics.
And I agree that he should be held to the same standard responsibility for surrogates as Sec. Clinton is... equality and all that you know.

(27,759 posts)I certainly hope this is lobbed at Bernie - and I say "lobbed" because he has all day to figure out to respond to any questions or comments regarding this, so he can't claim it's a gotcha.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)Which means, kid gloves for Sanders since Trump is fighting to be the Republican nominee, and most likely will be. They NEED to get a Republican in the White House. Four seats on SCOTUS and rich tax cuts for big business hangs in the balance!

BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)And yes, Dr. Song is an ingrate. This doesn't mean he needed to get on his knees and worship the Clintons for what they've done to his extended family, but the least he could've done was remain silent or leave out that horrible word from his pre-written speech.
I'm just surprised that the Sanders campaign approved it! And if they didn't, they're more disorganized than I gave them credit for.
