Related: About this forumBernie Sanders blasts ‘categorically false’ claims that he worked against Obama in 2012
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) staunchly denied claims he wanted a primary challenge to President Barack Obama in 2012.
"This is media stuff," Sanders told "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos in an interview on Sunday.
"The idea that I've worked against Barack Obama is categorically false," he added on the ABC Sunday show.

There's no in between on this. The fact is he's lying now because he called for a primary challenge in 2012, which is why I find the man despicable.

I agree. He shouldn't be defensive about it. In fact he would do better to bring it up a lot and how talking about it moved Obama to the left.
