Bernie Sanders called Sherrod Brown last night to deny Politico report that he trashed Brown (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/bernie-sanders-campaign-last-days-224041 …), aide confirms.

1. It's all irrelevant...Brown won't be the VP pick because Kasich would choose his replacement

2. Good

We used to trash politico and now it was gospel this week.

Hoping two great progressives had a positive conversation.

3. I don't think Bernie trashed him. That part of the article smelled like a Weaver dirty trick

4. Weaver?

[Renew Deal]

6. His campaign manager

7. I know who he is. Don't understand basis for snark

Why in the world would anyone sane think this would be something his campaign would do?

[Renew Deal]

9. There's no snark. I'm saying Bernie didn't do it.

And neither did his campaign. I think it was a hit job by Weaver by himself.

5. Good to see that. Someone inside the Sanders campaign really decided

to stab his own candidate in the back with that story.

That person should never work on a presidential campaign again.

8. That Politico article is obnoxious.

Based on the mind-reading and psychic predictions of an anonymous staffer.

Full of loaded adjectives and adverbs.

BigTree, thanks for sharing that tweet which clarifies that Sherrod Brown and Bernie Sanders are still on good terms.

13. happy to share this

...it was jarring to read that Sanders had nixed Brown.

Sherrod would represent progressive issues as VP with the same skill and dedication he's demonstrated throughout his legislative career.

Good for Bernie!

10. Glad to hear it.
