Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told Hillary Clinton Saturday night that he was sorry about a data breach that occurred earlier in the week when his campaign temporarily accessed Clinton campaign data.
“Not only do I apologize to secretary Clinton, and I hope we can work together on an independent investigation from day one,” Sanders said. “I want to apologize to my supporters. This is not the type of campaign that we run. And if I find anybody else involved in this, they will also be fired.”
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accepted that apology.
It was the only time the issue entered into the debate. The exchange lasted just mere minutes after dominating the news cycle Friday.
Sanders went on to ask Clinton to participate in an independent investigation to ensure that her campaign had also not accessed Sanders’ campaign data during a previous data breach.
“I look forward to working with secretary Clinton for an investigation, an independent investigation about all of the breaches that have occurred from day one in this campaign because I am not convinced that information from our campaign may not have ended up in her campaign,” Sanders said. “Don’t know that. But we need an independent investigation, and I hope secretary Clinton will agree with me for the need of that.”
Clinton seemed to imply she had already agreed to move forward with that.
“It really is important that we go forward on this. I know that you now have your data back and that there has been an agreement for an independent inquiry into what did happen,” Clinton said.
The right thing to do, done by a truly class act, and accepted by another one.
Jeebus H. Crispness, these Dems don’t know the first thing about marketing a blockbuster reality show on a shitslide down Bullshit Mountain.
Bernie looks like an old uncle of mine in that picture after a really bad day. He looks verklempt.
Having said that, I’m glad they both immediately put the issue of the breach behind them…and moved on to the issues. That was important. It was good of Hillary to not make this out to be a big thing too.
Why the hell is he apologizing? What world leader ever got anything by apologizing? He didn’t do it, he didn’t order it, when he found out who did, he fired one and as soon as he knows more he might fire more. After all, government and unions workers get some due process, and he should provide less? But apologize? Makes him look weak, and weak does not get elected. Bernie, you’re not in Burlington anymore.
“The fact that neither of us has ever called for the banning of an entire religion, or characterized everyone from an entire country as rapists and drug dealers, and the fact that neither of us has ever been endorsed by Vladimir Putin, are the big reasons why the media don’t really hang on our every word, and for all of that, and I think I can speak for Secretary Clinton here as well, we’re both truly sorry,” Sen. Sanders went on to say.
Good for Bernie. Now we can get on with the job of figuring out what DW-S and her cronies are doing behind the smokescreen.
