Seems like Pelosi, Durbin and others agree with him. And didn't the Senate Democrats make him chair of Party Outreach?
Bernie's always been straight-forward. In fact, that's one of the things many of his supporters appreciate about him. I don't know why anyone is surprised that he is saying what he actually thinks. I'm sure his counterparts in the Senate knew that about him when they chose him for his current role. I'm pretty sure they knew he would be saying these things.
But all of this complaining about him may affect things. Maybe enough outcry can undermine the support he currently has with current party leadership. We shall see. ... I would be disappointed if that does occur. In my view, Bernie's pushing us in the right direction.
