Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Has there been any reaction from BS or the BS campaign about page 23 of the Mueller report? [View all]lapucelle
(18,229 posts)21. I don't think BS has acknowledged the extent of the Russian interference.
The effort to promote Sanders as a way to influence the U.S. election began shortly after he declared his candidacy in spring 2015, according to Muellers indictment of the Russians. Russias aim was to defeat or weaken Clinton, who had angered Russian President Vladimir Putin when she had been secretary of state.
snip=======================================
Hopefully BS and his campaign will avoid RT this cycle.
During the primaries, Sanders gave at least three interviews to a Russia-controlled television network, RT, in which his trade stance was highlighted. The network in February 2016 criticized MSNBC for breaking away from Sanders after he said he was helping to lead the opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The network posted a story headlined, Bernie Sanders 'censored' by MSNBC while criticizing trade deal.
Around the same time that Sanders was featured on RT, Russian employees at the Internet Research Agency were given a document explaining how to influence the U.S. election. The workers were told to use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump we support them), according to Muellers indictment of the Russians.

Wasn't the BS press secretary one of the people who was potentially duped and manipulated

She's a horrid person. I hardly thing she's the one to be lecturing anyone about "unity" or civility

I can't help but be reminded of the data breach issue and wonder if it's related

BS said nothing in that statement about the information on page 23 of the Mueller report.

Better yet...has he told his supporters they were targeted, tricked and manipulated?

The evidence is that there was a wide ranging effort to divide the Democratic party by ANY means.

Believe it or not, some people seem to think that BS is the victim rather than the Democratic Party,

Yes, those are legitimate questions and concerns. I have similar doubts about the new campaign.

Since it was the general election, it's a shame that for some the focus was on a myth

That's why it's important that no candidates inadvertently embrace a divisive Russia-generated

Agreed. No campaign is immune, nor are non affiliated activists. Trolls are pervasive n/t

Why would any Democratic candidate hire people who helped to put Trump in the White House?
