Major Nevada union, Sanders campaign resolve dispute

[Autumn]

Union and the Bernie Sanders campaign say they've resolved their issues after a kerfuffle earlier Thursday had the group at odds with the Vermont senator's presidential operation in a key early voting state.

The union had accused Bernie Sanders' campaign staffers of posing as union workers in an attempt to gain access to their members, a charge the Sanders campaign denied.
The union and Sanders campaigners later said the issue, which was first reported by Ralston Reports' Jon Ralston, had been settled.

Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager, said Thursday -- after the statement from culinary was released -- that his understanding is that none of the staffers "ever misrepresented who they were."

And at the end of the article this little gem,

Culinary has long been at the center of the Nevada caucuses. The union endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, a race where Clinton campaign staffers were accused of trying to infiltrate various casinos and resorts in Las Vegas.

Interesting.

1. Second verse same as the first

except now we know what Clinton's playbook looks like. We didn't 8 years ago.

2. Doesn't say how they resolved it.

3. Are we surprised by these tactics?

[Autumn]

6. Not at all. I do wonder who really was behind this.

Especially after reading the bit about the Clinton campaign doing this on 08 .

8. Exactamundo!

[Autumn]

9. Everything I have read on this is short on details.

The Union accused. Who in the Union? The Clinton campaign did this against Obama. For all we know they were behind this.

10. Looks like they knew what to accuse "the other side" of doing

the second time around...

5. Well for being a doomsday event that was supposed to hand the state to Clinton

This sure was resolved quickly...

7. Glad that's done

Poor media--I'm sure they thought they had at least a few more days on sully season.

11. Yes, Poor Media

The need s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g to beat Bernie up on.

Otherwise they may not get their advertising $$ from the folks that may someday have to start paying taxes.

12. They always save the gems for the very end. nt

13. The damage has already been done. Bernie Sanders has done irreparable harm in Nevada.

He will likely lose it now.

14. Good.

Thanks for the thread, Autumn.
