Disinformation Campaign. Now the open question is if Bernie Sanders and his team are taking an ACTIVE in the DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN. Unless they come out immediately and disown this "endorsement" one would have to believe YES in the light of what happened to Elizabeth Warren, this highly QUESTIONABLE "Endorsement" and now this right here:
Biden rips Sanders campaign for Social Security attacks
"Indianola, Iowa Joe Biden has called for Bernie Sanders presidential campaign to disown what he calls doctored video that some Sanders supporters say shows the former vice president endorsing Republican calls to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Theres a little doctored video going around put out by one of Bernies people, Biden told supporters Saturday in Indianola, Iowa, referring to a 2018 speech in which Biden discussed then-House Speaker Paul Ryan saying rising deficit demanded action on the popular entitlement programs.
Im looking for his campaign to come forward and disown it, Biden continued, pointing to his 2020 campaign proposals designed to shore up Social Security. But they havent done it yet.Indianola, Iowa Joe Biden has called for Bernie Sanders presidential campaign to disown what he calls doctored video that some Sanders supporters say shows the former vice president endorsing Republican calls to cut Social Security and Medicare.

The video in question, circulated on Twitter by a top Sanders adviser, does not appear to be altered. But the short clip omits Bidens larger argument over how Ryan handled the 2017 tax cuts and subsequent budget debates. A separate Sanders adviser included a transcript of Bidens remarks in the video clip in a separate campaign newsletter. He added other, more extended video, of Biden as a U.S. senator in 1995 and presidential candidate in 2007 explaining his support for a more austere federal budget, including putting Social Security and Medicare on the table.

Hewitt is a diabolically evil person. He's making this announcement to split the vote. He's lying.
