(20,582 posts)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."
He did, however, suggest that if it did happen, "That kind of conduct would not be condoned."
"Obviously there was some confusion," Weaver said. "We would not want anyone making a misrepresentation of who they are. To the extent that happened, I am unhappy about that."
Weaver confirmed that the Sanders staffers were wearing the culinary union button "in solidarity with people but they were also wearing Bernie paraphernalia."
What exactly is their major crime?
And ......... do you know if Clinton's staffers who did the same thing made it clear they were working for her campaign?

(13,685 posts)What's really pathetic is Democrats telling us "No you can't"
You can't have equality. You can't have a clean planet. You can't make the rich pay their fair share.
So.... that may be your next OP? Telling us how fucked up the "NO you can't" is? I won't hold my breath.

(50,237 posts)It's going to be fun to watch if the email issue goes south. I don't want it to, mind you, but the talking points would change in a nanosecond . . . as would the support of Bernie.

(30,481 posts)By done in I'm simply talking about his chances in the primary. He isn't done in the long run. He will go back to the senate as a democrat, after decades in the senate he just earned some clout, he will then hopefully use that clout to team up with progressives to help Us build off Obamas accomplishments.
It does show a side of Sanders we have just more recently been introduced to. Maybe he can hold on to these staffers to rap the knuckles of conservatives in the Congressional Cafateria.
