In reply to the discussion: Rosario Dawson, how dare you lecture Dolores Huerta? [View all]beedle
(1,235 posts)No one is making accusation that are not based on actual facts regarding those people you mentioned:
Planned Parenthood: was questioned for supporting a Dem candidate during the Dem primaries, which it had never done before, and for no apparent critical reason (not like Sanders was anti-choice, or had a suspicious, let alone bad, record on the issue.) Then we learn that the Pres of PPH's daughter(neice?) was working the Hillary campaign ... that should be questioned.
John Lewis: Gave a statement that at face value claimed Sanders was lying about his civil rights credentials, and also at face value claimed he saw the Clintons at the important civil rights marches (which Sanders actually attended) when he hadn't met them until a decade or so later. He should have indeed been called out for that ... he was and he retracted (although he did repeat the same nonsense again later.)
Dolores Huerta: again, caught in what on the face of it looked like a lie, one that was refuted on more than one freaking video recordings and had eye witnesses to the incident. Again, she should have been called out for that (and she should still be called out for not retracting and apologizing, which as far as I know she has not done as yet.)
Now, what 'serious issues' would you like to address about the Sanders camp? You seem to have failed to mention them other than citing push back on Clinton camp (to be generous) 'misstatements'?
