Flat disown them.
The tensions reached a boiling point on Friday when the union, which represents some 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada,Geoconda Argüello-Kline, the group’s secretary-treasurer,Sanders’ supporters had "viciously attacked the Culinary Union and working families in Nevada" over its health care stance.
Hours later, the Sanders campaign issued a statement calling on “supporters of all campaigns not to engage in bullying or ugly personal attacks.” "Our campaign is building a multigenerational, multiracial movement of love, compassion and justice,” the statement read. “We can certainly disagree on issues, but we must do it in a respectful manner.”Sign UpBy signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.
