February 23, 2020 161
The Bloomberg campaign has lashed out at Bernie Sanders supporters, blaming them for a spate of campaign office vandalizations following a Thursday evening incident in which the billionaire’s Knoxville, Tennessee office was spray painted with “Fuck Bloomberg,” “oligarch,” “classist,” and “Authoritarian” on the door.
In response, Bloomberg campaign manager Kevin Sheekey said in a Friday statement that while they have no idea who did it, the vandalism “echoes language from the Sanders campaign and its supporters.”
“We call on Bernie Sanders to immediately condemn these attacks and for his campaign to end the Trump-like rhetoric that is clearly encouraging his behaviors to engage in behavior that has no place in our politics,” Shakey added.
