Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont dressed down the Center for American Progress, an influential liberal think tank, in a scathing letter on Saturday.
on Saturday, accusing the Center for American Progress of smearing progressive candidates and threatening to"reconsider what kind of partnership we can have.", lashed out at CAP and its advocacy arm — the Center for American Progress Action Fund — and accused them of playing a"destructive role" in the Democratic presidential campaigns.
Incensed by the coverage, Sanders even suggested that"corporate money" was influencing ThinkProgress' content. Sanders then threatened to"reconsider" his partnership with CAP if their"actions evolve in the coming months." The letter was reminiscent of the infighting that erupted within the Democratic party during the 2016 campaign when progressives who supported Sanders complained of being stifled and overlooked by the Clinton-affiliated establishment.AP Photo/Andrew Harnik
