Rick Nolan Makes His Bernie Betrayal Complete

After months of pledging his support to Bernie Sanders, Rick Nolan finally made his betrayal of the Democratic Socialist complete by endorsing Hillary Clinton. Nolan has taken a tortuous path through the primary process, from supporting Hillary, to championing Bernie and back again, always with his finger to the political winds.

Nolan promised to vote for Bernie at the DNC, but broke his word by staying as far away from Philadelphia as possible. Now Nolan has abandoned Sanders and his supporters in favor of Hillary Clinton and the national party that worked behind the scenes to quash Bernie’s campaign.

NRCC Comment: “With his endorsement of Hillary Clinton, Rick Nolan’s betrayal of Bernie Sanders and his 8^th District supporters is complete. The moment Nolan embraced Clinton’s scandal-plagued candidacy he ensured many Sanders supporters would shun him at the ballot box this November.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
