A former Hillary Clinton aide who once called Bernie Sanders’ movement ‘a hate mission against one woman’ is now one of the senator’s biggest supporters
Sanders had “absolutely no business determining the course of the Democratic Party after the harm he did to us.”
“Under Obama, Democrats lost ground to the far right. We had the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court was more balanced than it is today, and yet children were caged at the border,” he said. “We ended up with a Mitt Romney health care system with the Affordable Care Act. I’m not knocking it all. What I’m saying is this was not meaningful change.”
Sanders typically has not made much of an effort to win over former Clinton voters. But Daou’s appearance on the podcast is one of a handful of recent moves by the Sanders team that appear aimed at expanding his base. Faiz Shakir, Sanders’ campaign manager, told Sanders fans last week in a video that “a movement that wins is a movement that grows.”by a Clinton-turned-Sanders supporter, who said that the “nastiness” of some of Sanders’ 2016 voters had turned her away.
As with Fallon, Daou’s anti-establishment streak has irked some of his old friends. Neera Tanden, a former top Clinton adviser and president of the Center for American Progress, blocked Daou on Twitter. “Not because I want uncritical allegiance to anyone but because Peter dunks on Hillary, a person he claimed to admire,” sheNeera Tanden, a former top Clinton adviser and president of the Center for American Progress, blocked Peter Daou on Twitter.
