Fmr. VP Biden demands an apology from Sen. Sanders' presidential campaign for circulating what he called a “doctored” video misconstruing his record on Social Security.
“The Sanders campaign has pushed a video and transcript that were intentionally, deceptively edited to make it seem like Vice President Biden was praising and agreeing with Paul Ryan, when it is clear he was doing the exact opposite,” a Biden campaign official said in a statement. “In the speech, Biden was reiterating his core belief that we need to undo Trump's tax cuts for the super wealthy and replace them with a tax code that rewards work, not just wealth.
In response to Biden’s demand for an apology, Sanders pushed back in a statement and told Biden to stop “dodging questions about his record.” His campaign also immediately blasted out a memo titled “Joe Biden’s Record on Social Security,” listing video, statements and quotes of Biden talking about the program far as 1984.
In recent weeks, Sanders has continued to bring attention to Biden’s Iraq war vote and long political record — which he described as “baggage”— in an effort to dismantle Biden’s argument that he’s ready to be this era’s Democratic leader.
