After spending a week mired in a back-and-forth with fellow progressive Elizabeth Warren, Sanders on Saturday came under some welcome fire from Joe Biden over the tactics used by his camp to criticize the former vice president's record on Social Security.The clash comes less than two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, with the latest polls showing Sanders, Biden, Warren, and Pete Buttigieg all within striking distance of victory -- and one another.
Biden spokesman Andrew Bates on Sunday pushed back against the full force of the Sanders campaign and its supporters, who have flooded social media with an assortment of old news clips showing Biden talking about potential changes to the program, citing Sanders' own words."As Bernie Sanders himself said in 2015: 'Joe Biden is a man who has devoted his entire life to public service and to the wellbeing of working families and the middle class,'" Bates said in a statement.
