'Insane': Bernie Sanders has given a very bad guy a very major boost — will he ever have to answer for it?

You know how yesterday, we were kind of starting to feel a little sorry for Bernie Sanders? The media have clearly chosen Elizabeth Warren’s side in the current feud and poor Bernie’s been hung out to dry.

Well, this should serve as a good reminder that we shouldn’t waste any more sympathy on Sanders:

Isn’t that special?

The fact that a major Presidential candidate can use someone like Shaun King as a surrogate and promote them in this way without any consequences or scrutiny is insane. https://t.co/UPjG15bUUZ

Keep in mind, king has been called out for essentially being a conman by quite a few prominent figures on the left. This isn't just someone who is controversial on the right.

And that's not even getting into his consistent bigotry, conspiracy theories, and dishonesty.

Bernie Sanders throwing his weight behind Shaun King should tell you all you need to know about Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders hangs around with bad people — which makes for pretty compelling evidence that Bernie Sanders is not a good person.

Seriously, how are we this far into the primary and Bernie hasn't faced any scrutiny outside of conservative media for his collection of insane, bigoted, and deplorable surrogates?

Hasn't once been asked to defend association with people like Sarsour or King.

Surely the press can take a small break from falsely accusing regular people playing a silly game of being secret racists to ask a Presidential candidate about surrounding himself with actual bigots…
