Sanders campaign apparently randomly listing endorsements

The stuff I've seen on social media this cycle is new altogether. Conspiracies and counter-conspiracies...

[Mehmentum]

Sanders really needs to get his campaign under control.  This isn't the first time they've crossed some lines in their enthusiasm.

Mentiroso.

I'd also like to add that I don't think this is all a matter of campaign staffers out of control. No one's campaign is that out of control.

An unfortunate mistake. Retract it and apologize. Not a big deal.

What is the name of this official?

Every day, it's a new unfortunate mistake. At a certain point, maybe it's not mistakes...

Here are some updates. It looks like she did agree to be on a Volunteering Steering Committee. It looks to be just a big misunderstanding.

That said, other stuff the Sanders camp has done needs to be gotten under control.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Clinton campaign was involved in the writing of her original letter slamming Sanders. Once again though, the subject of emails and evidence seems to cause trouble for Clinton.

[DrScholl]

How is it Clinton's fault that Sanders is being dishonest? The man is not a damn saint, he's a politician like others in the race.

[Beet]

The email said she'd be on the panel but didn't say she'd be endorsing. The Sanders campaign is playing tit-for-tat versus a naive college student. But at least she'll get free tuition, right?

This sounds awfully close to an endorsement to me. They also told her they would be releasing her name, and she only asked her title not be released. We're making mountains out of mole hills here.

Here's the e-mail exchange released by the Sanders campaign, FWIW. Not looking like a story unless there's more to this:

[Lief 🗽]

So she said she'd be on a steering committee. Not that she'd endorse him. And then they say that she endorsed him anyway. And when she disputes this, they send out a private email to humiliate and attack this random college student. Scumbags.

They tried to bury Astrid Silva as well after she endorsed Clinton. Great latino outreach!

[Averroës Nix]

The difference between releasing her name and releasing her title, which is explained in the e-mail, should be apparent to any half-literate person.

And I'm not sure how it makes sense for a person to serve on a steering committee - publicly, knowing that her name would be released - for a candidate you aren't supporting. That was not my impression of how these things work. We don't even know how the campaign published her name, in any case. At least I haven't seen it.

[Ebsy]

The thing is... she obviously is not a Sanders supporter, and it seems like them listing her as an endorsement was against her wishes, otherwise why would she be endorsing Clinton now? You guys are interpreting an email where she specifically asks for her name to not be made public as her endorsing Sanders? That's just not how things work.

She didn't ask for her name not to be made public though. She asked for her title not to be made public.

[Holmes]

It's honestly hard to figure out exactly what she meant and this whole thing is a mess.

[Ebsy]

Well, I guess the story becomes, "PROMINENT SANDERS SUPPORTERS SWITCHES TO CLINTON CAMP."

[Shadows]

Please explain this - She will be on the volunteer steering committee assisting with the campaign and helping with volunteers, helping Sanders win vs Hillary.........

And she is not endorsing Sanders... Wonderful logic....How old are you people ? Go check what the word endorsement means in a dictionary...


I would not be surprised if this is a setup as this is an  incredibly dumb thing to say

Chill out, people. You're all wrong.

President Sanders: We would like to apologise to Sweden for carpet bombing Stockholm. We were actually trying to buy a new Oval Office carpet from IKEA  and ... well ... an unfortunate mistake happened.

[Shadows]

Have some common Sense ppl, if u agree yto be on  volunteer steering committee of 2 candidate, you are endorsing that person
