Bernie Sanders Doesn’t Want To Talk About The Fact That Russians Backed Him In 2016 – American Lookout 8 americanlookout


One of the new revelations related to the indictment of 13 Russians who meddled in the 2016 election this week is that they did what they could to support Bernie Sanders. Unsurprisingly, Sanders has declined to comment. For some strange reason, he doesn’t want to discuss the issue.

Politico reports:

Sanders silent on claim that Russians backed him in 2016

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders declined to directly address Friday’s revelation that Russian actors sought to boost his presidential primary campaign and sink Hillary Clinton’s in 2016, instead insisting that the special counsel’s investigation proceed unimpeded.

“It has been clear to everyone (except Donald Trump) that Russia was deeply involved in the 2016 elections and intends to be involved in the 2018 elections. It is the American people who should be deciding the political future of our country, not Mr. Putin and the Russian oligarchs,” Sanders said in a statement. “It is absolutely imperative that the Mueller investigation be allowed to go forward without obstruction from the Trump administration or Congress.”

Sanders’ urging that special counsel Robert Mueller be protected echoes the concerns of Democrats across Capitol Hill.

How typical of Bernie to simply deflect and project, rather than discussing the issue at hand. He’s likely going to run again in 2020 and doesn’t want this hanging over him.
