Huh. So it looks like the story out of the Sanders campaign pinning their attacks on Warren on "rogue staffers" was not true after all.

Yes, what "fun."
It's pretty grim that the campaign did this, lied about it then let supporters participate in the lie in order to defend the campaign.

It certainly casts a different light on the he said/ she said situation re: a woman being elected from my POV (and that whole mess seems to have stemmed from this Sanders campaign choice too, ugh).

Seriously? If you're in the campaign or privy to that information you should get in touch with Politico about correcting the record on this.
The leak of this was such a non-issue, I don't understand why they'd bother lying about it. After what Warren pulled yesterday this shit looks like peanuts.
I'm saying that nothing Politico offers in the story demonstrates that the talking points were "more official" (whatever that means).
So if I'm reading this article right, it was used for a single day before being pulled back? Still not a good look to try and deny it, especially considering the script itself doesn't even seem to have been that terrible.

I miscommunicated that I have a degree.
I in fact, do not have a degree, even though I told you I have a degree.

Not really surprising or incredible at all, sounds like typical politics
This is from the article. Are these the vicious, dirty attacks that Sanders' team is unleashing on Elizabeth Warren?
wait, so if i am reading this right, its anti-warren and not anti WOMEN right? I did not read in this article that he said shes un-electable because shes a women, but because of per politics.
At first i read that tag line as "anti-WOMEN" had to re-read it a few times

He should drop out, resign the Senate, refund his salary to the tax payers, and go to work in a monastery for the rest of his life in penance to God.
Sanders does something that has plausible deniability : Indefinite defense force
Sanders does something that has no deniability : "lol it's nothin"

From the sounds of it, it was technicallly more pro-bernie than anti anyone in particular but there were optional sections to try and convert supporters of each of the remaining candidates
Agreed. Fast for the next 10 years, buy a nail bed and make a vow of silence.
Yes very controversial. So controversial the only option was for Warren's campaign to go into smear mode.
So incredibly sloppy.
Was wondering yesterday is this would explain the "leak" from Warren's camp. ie, gloves are off, so we might as well throw punches

Or obscuring the truth if this was actually a deliberate, concerted effort by the Sanders campaign (ie, signed off by him or someone high up) to begin attacking Warren and hoping no one notices. Though it seems like a bizarre and uncharacteristic tactic from the Sanders camp to knowingly do this and then clumsily backpedal the moment it's brought to light.
Yes, but there had been an agreement between their campaigns (I'm pretty sure) not to do this sort of stuff, however accurate. Thus the response from Sanders and his campaign.
