Sanders: Hillary Rewriting History, DOMA Was Championed by ‘Homophobic’ GOP

When Bernie Sanders launched 2016 presidential bid, he swore off negative campaigning.

“Whatever the context that led to the passage of DOMA almost two decades ago, Hillary Clinton believes the law was discriminatory and both she and President Clinton urged that it be overturned”, spokesman Brian Fallon told the Huffington Post, in an article that reviews the history and sides largely with the Sanders recollection.

However, Sanders rebuked her argument, labelling the act a “homophobic” and politically immoral law.

Fellow co-host Savannah Guthrie followed up by pointing out how Sanders” political views were at odds with most Americans: “You call yourself a democratic socialist. “Now that we are going to do paid media next month, he approved having a pollster to give us the data we need to buy media correctly and target the ads”. “We’re going to have to talk about other things if they do that”, Devine said. It means that a lot of working class people and young people who have given up on the political process are now coming out and they want a candidate to stand up for the big money interests and create an economy that works for all of us and not just the 1%. Sanders has every right to challenge her on it. His strategy has involved casting Clinton as a late comer to causes Sanders has championed for decades.

The former secretary of state has ideas about dealing with Wall Street, he said, “but frankly, they don’t go as far as they should”.

Hillary Clinton’s version of what happened when the Defense of Marriage Act was signed by her husband took another sharp jab on Monday night.

Rose pressed further: “Anything else she ought to change on that she has not changed on yet?”

Sanders, who voted against DOMA, remembered it differently. Now, the good news, as Hillary Clinton just indicated, the culture has changed radically.

It’s a departure in tone and tactics from where Sanders began.

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Democratic presidential candidate Sen. At the time, I headed the largest LGBT advocacy organization, the Human Rights Campaign, and was quite literally in the maelstrom of this painful battle.

David Mixner, who had a public falling out with Bill Clinton over “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, and Hilary Rosen, an out Democratic activist and known Hillary Clinton supporter, were among those backing Sanders. – Josh Kruger (@jawshkruger) October 25, 2015 @AdamSerwer This doesn’t suggest it precludes Hillary Clinton from the WH.

Clinton “came around”, Sanders said, again remarking that he was “glad” that she did so.
