Bernie left no doubt he is getting behind Biden’s candidacy.

AP Interview: Sanders says opposing Biden is ‘irresponsible’

By STEVE PEOPLES

Sanders, who suspended his presidential bid last week, spoke at length about his decision to endorse Biden, his political future and the urgent need to unify the Democratic Party during an interview with The Associated Press. He railed against the Republican president but also offered pointed criticism at his own supporters who have so far resisted his vow to do whatever it takes to help Biden win the presidency.

He seemed to distance himself from his campaign’s former national press secretary, Briahna Joy Gray, when asked about her recent statement on social media refusing to endorse Biden.

Sanders said his supporters have a simple choice now that Biden has emerged as the presumptive nominee: “Do we be as active as we can in electing Joe Biden and doing everything we can to move Joe and his campaign in a more progressive direction? Or do we choose to sit it out and allow the most dangerous president in modern American history to get reelected?”

He continued: “I believe that it’s irresponsible for anybody to say, ‘Well, I disagree with Joe Biden -- I disagree with Joe Biden! -- and therefore I’m not going to be involved.’”

I am very gratified to see Bernie’s full throated support for Joe Biden‘s campaign.

Thank you Senator Sanders. It’s time for Democrats to close ranks and take on our real adversary, Donald Trump. Not only are his policies diametrically opposed to our own, but he threatens the very democratic principals at the foundations of our constitutional Republic.

This is no time to be a spectator.
