Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, Robbie Mook, wants Bernie Sanders to stop making “baseless” accusations of illegal activity.
“The Sanders campaign’s false attacks have gotten out of hand. As Senator Sanders faces nearly insurmountable odds, he is resorting to baseless accusations of illegal actions and poisoning the well for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket. It is shameful that Senator Sanders has resorted to irresponsible and misleading attacks just to raise money for himself,” Mook says in a statement.
“Instead of trying to convince the next generation of progressives that the Democratic Party is corrupt, Senator Sanders should stick to the issues and think about what he can do to help the Party he is seeking to lead.
“Furthermore, we call on Senator Sanders to end his frivolous and cynical lawsuit against the DNC, which continues to drain resources needed to help Democrats up and down the ticket win in November, and protect the progress we’ve made under President Obama.”
Earlier today, Sanders’s own campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, questioned Hillary Clinton’s “unusual” fundraising.
