Bernie Fundraising Email Hits Hillary For Cozy Relationship with Donald Trump

The Bernie Sanders campaign upped its attacks on fellow Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton Tuesday, attacking her in a fundraising email featuring Donald Trump‘s history of praising her and Clinton’s attendance at his wedding.

“Over the past few days, Hillary Clinton’s campaign and some of its top supporters have launched an odd new line of attack against people like you who stand with Bernie. They are saying that by continuing to campaign and fight for every vote for every delegate, we are helping Donald Trump,” begins the email, signed by Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver.

“They’ve use the language reserved for traitors to our country, saying we are ‘giving aid and comfort’ to Trump. They are emailing supporters with the subject line ‘What Trump loves about Bernie,'” the email goes on. “Let me be clear: there is one candidate in this Democratic primary who Donald Trump said would make a great president, and it’s not Bernie Sanders.”

Included in the email was a picture of Trump and the Clintons looking chummy at Trump’s most recent wedding.

“Here’s the truth: no matter what the Clinton campaign says, there’s one candidate in this race Donald Trump said would make a great president and another that he would never want to face in November,” Weaver concludes.
