The Bernie Sanders campaign must have been impressed with CNN’s quiz called “Who said it: Bernie or the Pope?” The comparison was so great that the Sanders campaign took it a step further:
Bernie walking a fine line on sort of claiming the endorsement of the Pope https://t.co/XGeLMcUMog pic.twitter.com/CsVTmkFTZV

Gee, do you think they want people to think Pope Francis endorsed Sanders?
You can't put your logo on a photo of the Pope. https://t.co/FcspXI8FNm

@ZekeJMiller @jeneps If he were just using the quotation, I'd be fine with this, but plastering his logo on a picture of the Pope? Yikes.

Ahh…so the Sanders campaign is continuing its long-running "fake endorsement strategy" and kicking it up a notch. https://t.co/zB4j6MHz0k

@ZekeJMiller This is pretty gross. Lying about a Pope invite for a campaign ad. Talk about desperate.

Sanders is at the Vatican for a conference, but reportedly will not get a face-to-face meeting with Pope Francis.
