Appearing with Chuck Todd on Meet The Press, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) corrected the host when he quoted from article in Buzzfeed saying the Vermont senator had apologized to Black Lives Matter, telling Todd the apology came from a staffer and that it “was sent out without my knowledge.”
The Sanders campaign has been in weeks-long tussle of wills with various activists who claim to represent the Black Lives Matter movement, taking the stage at Sanders’ appearances and pressing the Democratic presidential candidate to put forward policy solutions for racial justice.
Todd quoted the Buzzfeed article in which an email from the campaign to BLM — written by Sanders senior staffer Marcus Ferrell — read, “I apologize it took our campaign so long to officially reach out…” Sanders corrected Todd, letting him know it didn’t come from him.
“Well, that was sent out by a staffer, not by me,” Sanders replied. “Look, we are reaching out to all kinds of groups. Absolutely I met with folks at Black Lives Matter. We’re reaching out to Latino groups. We’re reaching out to the unions.”
did Bernie just have a Rick Perry "oop's" moment, by making a disclaimer as to he sent or was responsible for it's sending sends a message to all who support the BLM atter movement that he does not take them any more serious than anybody else also by saying they "reach out" to many orgs is he not involved in that too and not having any knowledge of them being sent does he really mean what they read or is it just a campaign rubber stamp mailer?????????
he should have lied and said he authorized them telling a entire block of voters you are not that into their children and loved ones being murdered doesn't make for a stampede to the voting booth for you.
