Also, so John Lewis doesn't remember meeting Bernie Sanders in the 60s. Who cares? It is entirely possible for him to have met Bernie at some point and not remember it. Bernie wasn't a senator then. He was a college kid at the time, one of MANY. He could very well have been near him at some point, or even introduced to him, without Rep. Lewis remembering it. But Bernie would of course remember, because hey it was John Lewis.
Why are so many non-issues being made into issues? Hillary wore a gold jacket! OMG must be some kind of subliminal message. Some photo might be of a young Bernie Sanders or might not be. What possible difference does that make?
But to attack John Lewis. No way would Bernie Sanders do that. These supposed supporters are way out of bounds. And I say "supposed" because they aren't actually giving Bernie any support by doing this kind of thing. They are hurting him, not helping.
