Report: Sanders declined to sign statement condemning protests against Sinema

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) declined to sign a proposed statement condemning recent protests against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) because it did not address her resistance to prescription drug reform and the Democrats' budget reconciliation package, Axios reported.

Footage circulated over the weekend of activists following Sinema into a bathroom at Arizona State University, where she teaches, and calling on her to support the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package. Sinema blasted the move in a statement on Monday saying it “was not legitimate protest."

Jeff Giertz, communications director for Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), coordinated a joint statement among lawmakers condemning the protests against Sinema, asking senators' offices if they'd be interested in signing and mentioning Booker was open to edits, according to screenshots of the conversations.

Sanders’ communications director, Mike Casca, asked for a line to be added. The proposed change would have included "While we hope Senator Sinema will change her position on prescription drug reform and support a major reconciliation bill" before an already existing line saying “what happened in that video was a violation of her privacy that has no place in our public discourse, and we resolutely condemn it.”

Giertz apparently told Casca “my boss can’t agree to that edit” to which Sanders’ office replied “Sanders will not be signing, so please cut ‘Senate Democratic Leadership Team’ from headline.”

Evidently the FBI won’t be looking into this...

Hmmm...

Happened at school, to a school official...

I thought this was terrorism. I guess you have to have
your membership in the RNC to be qualified to be looked
into.

He didn’t care when one of his disciples shot up a baseball field. He certainly won’t care now.

He spends much more time on the can than Kirsten, being an alter kakker. Is he sure he wants this?

A lot of those angry parents are Dems or Independents, or otherwise a-political. Which is all the more reason to be suspicious of them. Neutral scum./s

Ass hats like Pelosi and Bernie ought to have reporters and crazy opponents follow them in to bathrooms and hassle them. Let them know what it’s like.

Marxism in all its forms is evil, as are its proponents, which includes Bernie

The fact that VT voters elect this evil Marxist illustrates a problem in this country.

Don’t you think the Democrats buy into everything that is
spoon fed to them? I don’t see them complaining about CRT.

Heck they’re too busy apologizing for being White, or
telling folks they wish they were Black.
