Sanders' campaign is not happy with her

Hillary Clinton owes Bernie Sanders’ campaign an apology, the campaign said Friday.

Clinton on Thursday accused Sanders’ camp of “lying,” alleging that his campaign has been claiming Clinton accepts money from the fossil fuel industry — a statement she forcefully rejected when confronted by an environmental activist.

“I think she probably owes the senator an apology for that because the senator is not lying about her record,” Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told MSNBC. “He’s talking about her record. He’s talking about her practices. She obviously doesn’t like it, but that doesn’t make it lying because you don’t like it.”

Following a campaign event in New York, Clinton angrily wagged her finger at Eva Resnick-Day, a Greenpeace activist, as she rejected the notion that she accepts money from oil and gas companies. “I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me,” she said.

In a statement released by the campaign following his MSNBC appearance, Weaver said it was “disappointing” that Clinton has accused them of something “that just isn’t true,” citing evidence from a Greenpeace report that says she accepts donations from industry lobbyists and bundlers.

“If the Clinton campaign wants to argue that industry lobbyists giving thousands of dollars to her campaign won’t affect her decisions if she’s elected, that’s fine,” Weaver said. “But to call us liars for pointing out basic facts about the secretary’s fundraising is deeply cynical and very disappointing.”
