Karen Finney: I Don’t Care About Bernie Sanders’ Opinion Because ‘He’s Not a Democrat’

‘He has every right to his opinion’

EXCERPT:

FINNEY: "Well, here's what I -- I would say to that, as someone who has actually done the work as part of the Democratic Party, made phone calls, knocked on doors, and you know, every time -- when he attacks the party, one of the things that I take issue with, he is attacking those rank and file people who do the work day in and day out, local elections, statewide elections. We're not just talking about a presidential election. And we're talking about people who volunteer their time for this party because they care about it. Bernie is certainly welcome to his opinion, and I know the bros are going to get all whipped up on Twitter when I say this, but he's not a Democrat. So, while he has every right to his opinion, I -- I  don't take his opinion. But look, I think our country is -- is facing a much greater challenge when we look at a president who has a propensity to lie and not tell the truth. And we're looking at the possibility of potential collusion with a foreign government that is hostile to this country. That is something that every American should be concerned about, and I think it is a far more serious issue than, you know, what Bernie Sanders does or doesn't say about the Democratic Party."
