Bernie Sanders sounds nervous. X is abuzz with rumors there is more to come out about Graham Platner and it's even worse than all the things we've heard thus far.

I asked Sen. Bernie Sanders if there's concern sexual assault allegations could come out on Graham Platner after the #MESen candidate privately assuranced Dems there's no "credible" forthcoming claims

Oof! Bernie really, really wants to change the subject. What does Bernie know?
"Bernie it has just been discovered that the candidate you endorsed murdered an entire Iraqi nursery school class for sport, while working as a Blackwater merc. Do you stand by your support?"

People say that Bernie is a bad judge of character, but it would be more accurate to say that he simply doesn’t care about character at all. https://t.co/yyKqB9Pdpi

From the Post? Why don’t we think about a post-billionaire economy?
From the Times? When will it be time for Americans to receive universal healthcare? https://t.co/zIqVjkUMcY
You could have asked him what he’s ever done about inequality except for talking about it
