Sanders surrogate: Rosario Dawson comments 'not helpful'

Bernie Sanders' lone Senate endorser on Monday rejected the notion that the recent comments made by one of the candidate's celebrity surrogates represents more than an isolated, inflammatory incident.

"No. This is individuals going off track on their own," Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said in an interview with CNN's "New Day," addressing actress Rosario Dawson's invocation of Monica Lewinsky against bullying while introducing Sanders over the weekend in Delaware.

1. That's one rational surrogate! Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.)

2. Surely, Sen. Markley should have known about BS' surrogates' outrageous

comments beforehand, ya think.

3. You would think so...

...but no. I guess he thinks many surrogates for the Sanders 'go off-track on their own'.

4. Mahlao Jeff Merkley.. wonder if Rosario thought she was being so clever?

5. It seems Sanders has a LOT of surrogates making ugly isolated, inflammatory speeches against

Hillary Clinton. Someone does not have any control on messaging on that side OR it could be that's exactly what they're expected to do.

Remember, the Green Party has NO love for the Democratic Party, either. It's that angry that had me turn away from the Greens.

6. I was wondering why my senator endorsed BS.

I was a bit taken aback at first. My impression is he is trying to keep things from imploding within the party. Have to have some adults there. My fur is settling back down.

9. lol.. I know what mean, flea. sanders has to have one sane surrogate.. because

this part will be over eventually.. and there will be Jeff Merkley.. lone BS supporter from the Senate doing his mediation thing.

12. You got it. To late for a Senator from Massachusetts to take the job. :-)

7. Sanders admitted that he was not in control of his campaign. “You have to ask Tad.”

The closer we get to the end, the farther it gets from the rails. He has neither the temperament or the will to control his surrogates.

10. For who?

[JSup]

11. I think s/he's referring to Madeleine Albright

when she made that stupid comment in February(?)

15. That's one compared to a bunch of BS surrogates.
