Clinton Campaign panics, attacks Sanders for not being a “real progressive”

February 4, 2016

The Clinton campaign had a full blown Twitter meltdown last night after socialist Senator Bernie Sanders questioned her progressive credentials. Clinton began to defend herself by citing endorsements by “leading progressives” like Barbara Streisand, America Ferrera, Ricky Martin, Salma Hayek, Lena Dunham, Olivia Wilde, Abby Wambach, and Katy Perry (no word on whether the left or right shark endorsed).

 

Clinton then went on to question whether Sanders, a self-described socialist, was a “real progressive” himself.

 

The Clinton meltdown comes on the heels of her unexpected tie with the junior Senator from Vermont, and as the race heads to New Hampshire, where Sanders has a commanding lead in the polls.

 

NRCC Statement: “House Democrats have begun to panic as FBI target Hillary Clinton and socialist Senator Bernie Sanders argue over who is the more extreme liberal candidate. House Democrats are rightly terrified of the damage their presidential candidates’ leftward lurch will do to down-ballot races in November.” – Bob Salera, NRCC Spokesman
