The head of the Democratic Party of Puerto Rico slammed the Sanders campaign on Saturday for accusing it of unfairly denying poll workers access to prisons to help inmates vote.



"I am appalled at the remarks from the spokesperson of the Bernie Sanders Campaign in Puerto Rico, Ms. Betsy Franceschini," local Democratic Party president Roberto Prats said in a statement.
Franceschini had accused party officials in Puerto Rico of witholding certifications from Sanders officials, initially preventing them from organizing voters in prisons.

"The claim that the Democratic Party is delaying the certification of the Sanders' poll workers is preposterous. The first complete set of pollworkers for tomorrow's primary we have certified were all from the Sander's Campaign."

The Sanders campaign now seems to be intentionally angering his supporters and smearing the democratic party with fake conspiracies.What good can come from this?

1. The lack of class, character and credibility of the Sanders operation

is now on full display. They'll stoop to any dubious tactic to deflect attention from the fact that THEY ARE LOSING.

5. It will only get worse. They haven't hit rock bottom.

2. Move them to the fainting couch quick. They are getting the vapors. Fauxtrage.

4. Which ones? Nt

3. They need a narrative for their fundraising emails

The only way they make money is by keeping the anger at 11 amongst his supporters.

6. tsk tsk Bernie is preparing for another loss it looks like

if he loses there is always a conspiracy behind it. If he wins it is always "the will of the people." Of course he has won mostly caucuses which are much more undemocratic than primaries. I recall that even Sanders supporters made that argument early on when he lost Iowa and Nevada and then they started winning caucuses and suddenly caucuses were full of virtues while primaries were evil.
