Bernie Sanders
Tanden has been a fierce critic of Bernie Sanders, often firing off tweets directed at the progressive Democrat. The comment which raised the most eyebrows involved Tanden accusing Sanders of benefiting from Russia during the 2016 primaries.
Oddly when Russia was trying to elect Trump they did not attack Bernie Sanders, they chose to help him. They did this in the Dem primary. They attacked the other candidate. https://t.co/ojI1Lre36v
