Jake Tapper calls out stunning falsehood from Sanders’ campaign

Sen. Bernie Sanders' national press secretary distorted Michael Bloomberg's past heart issues and called questions about the Vermont senator's health and requests for additional records a "smear" campaign. Sanders spokeswoman Briahna Joy Gray later said she misspoke when she said Bloomberg had experienced heart attacks in the past. CNN's Jake Tapper reports.

    1. Anux Follow the money. Who owns CNN? Not Comcast, they own NBC and MSNBC and that’s why they’re so pro Biden to the point of craziness.

    2. @Ronald Drumpf however, the error his spokesperson made is really pretty minor. Both men had blocked arteries. Both men had stents put in to repair arteries. Bernie did not catch his issue before heart attack because he was in the middle of a campaign. Bloomberg probably would have had a heart attack if the blocked arteries were not found and corrected. 🤷‍♀️ Bloomberg has paid off multiple women for harrassment/hostile work environment. Not the same as assaults, but read some of the accounts. Not cool. Again, the statement was not 100% accurate, but very close. So, correct the details, without making it sound like Sanders campaign was making stuff up. Many people have been saying that Bloomberg has sexual assault allegations. I had to read the WP report to see that it is not ASSAULT, it is harassment.

    1. @Cancun American both men had blocked arteries. Both men had stents put in. Bloomberg has paid off multiple women for harrassment/hostile work environment. Stop acting like this is some major news story. Correct the details, sure. Then get on to real news.

    2. We’re more interested in your mommy’s pole rating… is she still working the same six trailer parks, or has she expanded her operation to the van communities down by the river?

  1. Thanks for the laugh, CNN. “Stunning”, huh?

    They are the same age, similar heart issues. Your BS has become stunning.

    1. Your lack of name (identity), while disparaging another, is disheartening – I hope that’s not your goal. The Russians couldn’t sign their name in their own politics… do you not hope to set a higher standard.

      Land of the Free, Home of the Brave – meaningless words, for people scared of their own shadow_.

      Putin has now put his ONE news entity, Sputnik Radio, in control of three broadcasting stations in the heart of Kansas.

      Speak for what you do want… I want to hear from American (adults- people who could stand first for themselves…. The Nazi’s took the Jews names for a reason; it’s hard to be either Brave or Compassionate, under anonymity. Putin is of the same ilk).

      Do you not hold Bernie to a higher standard than the current US leadership? There is no shortage of things Sen Sanders should be discussing… another’s health is not one of them… unless he is speaking for all of America –

      Goodnight ‘Geek’, if you are truly smart –
      I’d hope you grasp the meaning in my words.
      Peace ~

    2. @Devon Knobel The simple idea that I must somehow identify myself personally to you on the internet to have an opinion is revolting in the extreme. And the ‘other’ I am disparaging is an enormous media conglomerate. Pull you goddamned head in.

    1. Wait till Sanders and the Dems don’t control the questions and it’s 1v1.
      Flight tax, meat tax, outlawing gas/oil, that’s from his recent mouth. Get ready for 2-3x on ur grocery bill + income tax, “lining up for food at food banks is a good thing” – Bernie Sanders.

      He’s completely insane, just look at him for 5 minutes speaking. That’s discounting the damage $97trillion in spending would do, say he has 1000 days working that’s $100billion per day…

    1. ​@Mandi B Both parties will have their ideals… I would like to live in a society, where people speaking on our politics could carry their own names (as adults in a ‘free’ society ought be able to do). Something that Russians can’t say for themselves today:(

      I am tired of this ‘MSM’ business, that is a chemical <–> Methylsulfonylmethane. If you want respect, here or elsewhere, show you possess it. Do your best to be accurate. If you can’t stand behind your own name, at least try to get others right… lead with compassion if that’s what you want to see… be brave, if that’s what you want to hear.

      Democracy works over decades and centuries – or it doesn’t.
      News Media however,
      is a reflection of present times (just as art is a reflection of human emotions/ logic).
      There is a reason we aren’t getting Press Briefings anymore:/..
      where questions are harder to avoid, and answers are analyzed_
      _____

      IF you want to know why the Russians are so intent on making us distrust ourselves… > it is so that our view of ourselves also becomes uncertain/ so that fear- anger, overtakes our logic. Sure you should take note from a few sources (Rachel Maddow, Stephen C., Jimmy Kimmel, Young Turks are great too I feel).

      Putin only gives one source
      [“RT News”~ “Sputnik radio” (now broadcasting in Kansas,
      disparaging America/ democracy, from within].

      Russia has fallen to one (cruel party) – where none may object…
      especially not with their own name… is that what you want(?)
      ___
      Wanting our future leader to be more honest than our present one
      (who aspires to be the next Putin, full of lies/ hate – unaccountable)…
      I love Bernie, all them more reason I want him to take his (staffs) words seriously,
      seems like it should be common sense, to expect the truth (for a US Citizen… from a US president….).

      Goodnight Mandi –
      make the world you want,
      for the next.
      Dk

    2. The EU inputs can never speak English properly…
      It’s hilarious watching EU parliament because they don’t make English the language, so most of them don’t even know what is going on most of the time ahahaha.

    1. Inquiring minds want to know….are Bernie supporters now beginning to understand what Trump supporters have gone through for nearly four years, with the lies and spins trying to undermine your guy? There are people with money working behind the curtain to influence this election in ways you can’t even begin to imagine. First line of defense: wean yourself from m-s-m and seek out independent reputable sources that aren’t bought out. Then, drop back in on m-s-m and notice how the spin happens.

    1. People need to wake up. Sanders is an amazing man and fighting for us. Bloomberg is buying this election and he will screw us all poor people.

    2. @Fearless Tv – That’s What Stalin supporters thought, u cannot afford prohibition on gas/oil, flight tax, meat tax, 2-3x more on groceries, electricity, consumer goods and income tax.
      Bernie Bros about to get a slap and a red pill of reality.

    1. Wait till Sanders and the Dems don’t control the questions and it’s 1v1.
      Flight tax, meat tax, outlawing gas/oil, that’s from his recent mouth. Get ready for 2-3x on ur grocery bill + income tax, “lining up for food at food banks is a good thing” – Bernie Sanders.

      He’s completely insane, just look at him for 5 minutes speaking. That’s discounting the damage $97trillion in spending would do, say he has 1000 days working that’s $100billion per day…

  2. Hey CNN, try and poop on Bernie all you want about medical records, the fact still remains that his policy positions TROUNCE BLOOMBERG all day long.

  3. This just in: Once respected news network CNN becomes 24 hour Bernie smear channel, Loses respect/ trust of an entire generation

  4. Jake Tapper has two Hillary Clinton ex-staffers on the panel to share their neutral views about this. Give me a break Jake Tapper.

    1. All of a sudden, they step out of the never-ending Trump Twilight Zone episode to criticize someone not releasing records. 😂

    2. @Leonel Ventura Yeah i wanna see Joe Biden’s brain scanning footage aswell but Jake Tapper is not gonna create a video like this about him.

  5. Tapper got the memo from the higher ups: “Create drama and scandals regarding Bernie, or else us rich folks (Tapper included) will have to pay slightly more in taxes.”

  6. Of course he got treatment before he heart attacked him. He’s rich and could afford pay for the best care in the world. He doesn’t have to fight with insurance companies for every little thing.

  7. Ooh a staffer said he’d had a heart attack, when she meant to say coronary procedure, whooptie doo cnn, anything to boost the moderate and attack bernie
