President Trump Accuses Clinton of Colluding With Democrats to Defeat Sanders
In the wake of a bombshell story about Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election – and persistent allegations that President Donald Trump’s campaign may have colluded with Russia to win – President Trump took to Twitter Sunday morning to accuse someone else of collusion: his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.
Clinton, he charged, had colluded with the Democratic Party to defeat Sen. Bernie Sanders, in the Democratic primary race.
“Is she allowed to collude? Unfair to Bernie!” President Trump tweeted, seemingly defending the senator just weeks after calling him “Crazy Bernie Sanders.”
