Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday that his Democratic presidential campaign is trying to put the scandal over campaign staffers accessing data belonging to front-runner Hillary Clinton "behind us."
He said that it is time to focus on "the real issues" like income inequality and problems plaguing the middle class.
“We’re trying to work with the [Democratic National Committee] to put this whole thing behind us," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"There were two breaches, we screwed up on one and the other one we did the right thing. Right now we're in negotiations with the DNC. Frankly, Andrea, I think for the American people there are far more important issues having to do with the disappearance of the American middle-class and huge income and wealth inequality and climate change and a corrupt campaign finance system. So I think on both sides we'd like to focus on the real issues."
In recent weeks, the Democratic establishment has been abuzz over the data breach, which took place on the system that manages data on voters around the country. Sander's campaign is suing the DNC over the issue.
Sanders rebuffed a question about whether the DNC is treating him fairly, pivoting to focus on the party's Republican opponents.
"Look, we have had our differences of opinion with the DNC, but at the end of the day the DNC, Hillary Clinton and myself, we want to defeat right-wing extremism in this country so we're trying to work out our differences of opinion," he said.
"We have demanded a full investigation from top to bottom," a Sanders adviser said. Source.
Socialist have sought to end the middle class. Standard of living in America was too high and it made the rest of the world look bad.
Home ownership is becoming a thing of the past.
Office jobs are offshored and outsourced (they weren’t automated, they were targeted).
Corporations rejected the bottom line and signed onboard the homosexual agenda and pushing “green” initiatives that do not work and do not add to revenues or quality of life improvement for employees. Corporate socialism is a thing, take your compliance training and be re-educated.
The sad state of America when a bunch of loons are following this loon and planning to vote for him in January and beyond.
Denmark should be granting them refugee status instead of Muslims
Who to believe when everyone involved is a notorious liar?
IOW, he's given up even the pretense of seeking the nomination.
