Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is blaming a leading liberal think tank for stymieing Democrats’ efforts to unseat President Trump in 2020 and spreading “bad faith smears” about him and other Democratic presidential hopefuls who have moved the party further to the Left.
Sanders sent a letter Saturday to the Center for American Progress and CAP Action Fund, which was obtained by the New York Times, that accused the organization of playing a “destructive role” in the 2020 presidential campaign.
The Center for American Progress was founded in 2003 by John Podesta, who served as White House chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Sanders and Hillary Clinton engaged in a bitter primary during the 2016 presidential election, which exposed rifts in the Democratic Party.
