Hi there,
Yesterday, The Washington Post reported that American intelligence agencies briefed Senator Sanders that Russia is actively engaging in efforts to bolster his candidacy.
In response, Bernie rightfully said that Russia should not meddle in American elections.
But then he suggested The Washington Post was trying to hurt his campaign by reporting on what the Russians were doing.

That’s deeply troubling, but also telling. What this report tells us is not that Russia wants Bernie to be president. We know their choice is Donald Trump, and they’ll do anything that they can to help him.
No. It’s telling of the kind of politics we’re in for in Bernie’s vision of the future: More conspiracy theories, more attacks undermining the free press when they write something you don’t like, more attacks on anyone who doesn’t agree with you 100% of the time.
Over the last four years, Donald Trump has undermined the press because it reported the facts and repeatedly suggested there were “deep state” conspiracies out to get him.
There’s nothing progressive about attacking a free press or fueling conspiracy theories. In fact, it’s undemocratic.
We can’t afford four more years of the same kind of toxic politics, whether it’s coming from Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders.
Leadership is about what you draw out of people. It's about how you inspire people to act. We need a president who can move us forward and turn the page on the Trump era.
If you’re ready to make a clean break from failed policies AND divisive politics, this may be our last chance. We need you to make a donation right now [[link removed]] to make sure Pete has the resources he needs to win.
