Sanders campaign accuses Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin

Sanders – The Sanders campaign unleashed on Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, accusing her of using black voters as a “human shield” to defend the establishment.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday following a tough Super Tuesday battle against former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders knocked his opponent whose campaign he said is supported by the “corporate establishment,” citing “60 billionaires” that have contributed to Biden’s campaign.

“Does anyone seriously believe that a president backed by the corporate world is going to bring about the changes in this country that working families and the middle class and lower-income people desperately need?” Sanders asked.

Rubin, an MSNBC contributor, slammed Sanders, accusing him of “insulting African Americans” who overwhelmingly voted for Biden.

That didn’t sit well with Sanders’ national press secretary, Briahna Joy Gray.

“Black people are not going to let a Republican like Jennifer Rubin use us as a human shield for the billionaire-backed corporate interests Bernie is referring to when he says ‘establishment.’ The way she & others are weaponizing black voters to defend elites is shameful,” Gray reacted to the self-described “conservative” writer.

She continued, “No one hates voter shaming more than Bernie. The ‘establishment’ =/= not black voters, who are some of the most structurally disempowered ppl in America. (Just look at the voting lines in our neighbourhoods). It is the monied interests that work against the interests of the ppl. What they want is for us to stop critiquing the gross and undemocratic imbalance of power in this country. We won’t. Call it ‘establishment.’ Call it’ ‘the man.’ Call it the ‘corporate elite.’ It doesn’t matter. But achieving equality requires that we call it out.
