Desperately trying to Cut Ties with Socialism
Here’s the Truth About Bernie Sanders’ Deceptively-Edited Barack Obama Ad
By Tommy ChristopherMar 4th, 2020,
The video, which shows the former president with his arm around Sanders walking into the Oval Office, was released after the Vermont senator was routed by former Vice President Joe Biden in a series of Super Tuesday primaries where Biden handily won the African American vote.
The ad includes a passage from a 2016 interview Obama gave to journalist Glenn Thrush for Politico in which he said Sanders has the virtue of “saying what he believes, great authenticity, great passion, and is fearless.”
It also includes audio of then-Sen. Obama saying that Sanders is someone who will fight for people, a clip taken from a speech delivered while he campaigned for Sanders and another congressional candidate in 2006.
And it concludes with video of Obama saying at the 2016 Democratic convention that people should “feel the Bern.” Obama’s speech was aimed at getting all Democrats to back the party’s presidential nominee Hillary Clinton after a bitter primary.
The ad’s message is clear: Sanders is a strong ally of Obama, an argument that could help Sanders improve his standing with black voters.
But former Obama officials and Biden supporters have ripped it for suggesting a false closeness between the former president and Sanders, whom Biden’s team has criticized for contemplating a primary challenge in 2012 against Obama.
“It reeks of desperation,” said one former Obama White House aide who is unaffiliated with any campaign. “Does he want to claim he served as Obama’s VP too?”
