Bernie Sanders is apologizing for the 100% accurate op-ed one of his surrogates wrote for The Guardian that Joe Biden on his “big corruption problem”:
Sanders apologizes for surrogate saying (and a campaign newsletter amplifying) that Biden has a “big corruption problem.” He says "It is absolutely not my view that Joe is corrupt in any way. And I'm sorry that that op-ed appeared.”https://t.co/jk9T36xJou

Where is Biden's comprehensive housing plan?

Sorry, Dems: Biden’s corruption is not going away:
What’s even funnier is shortly after this apology, it was Hillary Clinton who went nuclear in a renewed attack on Bernie:
The one-two punch of Sanders calling off his surrogates on Biden and Hillary punching through the wall to say he should lose is really something.
