BS & his campaign - SHAMEFUL

I was reading an article on Yahoo!; all of the sudden on the upper right-hand corner of the webpage appeared an advertisement of video clips of BS, the Pope, and the crowd in front of the Pope's palace.

The caption underneath the video clips written:

Pope Francis invites Sanders to speak at Vatican.

Here is the link to the video ad.

Just cannot believe Bernie Sanders whom I've had a lot of respect before can stoop down this low and blatantly LIE like that!

so it can't rescind it. However, the academic body that issued it should.

I hope the Vatiican sees how he's blatantly using this for political purposes--the video says it's a "shrewd political move".

The Pope won't touch St. Bern with a barge pole if he gets wind of this.

A still photo, I guess. Even if it is a blatant attempt to pander and manipulate.

But footage?
