32. A staffer did not "make a mistake."
Mon Dec 21, 2015, 03:09 PM
Dec 2015

The behavior was intentional, unethical, wrong.

There is no reason to downplay the facts here. Nobody is alleging that this was done with Bernie's knowledge, or at his behest. He took appropriate action, and apologized.

The unwillingness of some of his supporters to acknowledge that what the staffer did was wrong is not moving him forward.
