How many times does @JoeBiden have to tell you he wants to cut Social Security for everyone to believe him? And how many video clips have to exist for people to worry that these would likely all be devastating Trump ads, if Biden is the nominee?
A 3-part thread...

This is a huge victory for our state workers in Colorado. Congrats @CoWINSpolitics! We’re long past due enshrining collective bargaining rights for state employees in statute. I can’t wait to vote yes on this bill and see it signed into law. #coleg #copolitics #unionsforall
FYI - Jim Messina's corporate clients include Google, Uber, AirBNB, a major private equity firm, and a major airline that has been fighting its workers' efforts to form a union https://themessinagroup.com/industries/
Unmentioned in the story: the latest IRS filings from Third Way show that Jim Messina's firm has been on the group's payroll. Third Way is the Wall Street front group whose mission is to destroy the progressive movement.

Here's the longer part of the clip Team Biden deliberately left off: the part where 12 years ago -- when it wasn't easy -- I excoriated Biden for leading America into the Iraq War, helping his credit card donors destroy the middle class, and pushing corrupt bipartisan deals

BREAKING VIDEO

The gloves are coming off between @BernieSanders and @JoeBiden. This statement, from Sanders senior advisor Jeff Weaver on Biden’s Iraq War record: ““It is appalling that after 18 years Joe Biden still refuses to admit he was dead wrong on the Iraq War.”

Dear @JoeBiden:
You don't get to erase your record helping lead America into the Iraq War. You haven't apologized or taken responsibility for your actions. @BernieSanders showed the judgment & toughness to vote the right way. You don't get to erase that.
Kudos to my former young, brown-haired self for being consistent by criticizing @JoeBiden 12 yrs ago - when it was hard - for pushing the Iraq War, helping the GOP pass the bankruptcy bill & being part of a gross DC dealmaking culture (that often pushed Social Security cuts)

Listen, folks, here’s the deal, ladies and gentlemen:
@JoeBiden isn’t getting away with rewriting history about how he helped lead America into the Iraq War.

Imagine how the media would have treated it if Hillary Clinton did what Joe Biden is doing.

.@BernieSanders taking it to Biden on VP’s Iraq record:
“It is appalling that after 18 years Joe Biden still refuses to admit he was dead wrong on the Iraq War.”
Says he ”enthusiastically supported a disastrous war, refuses to admit mistakes, and then tries to rewrite history.”
BREAKING NEWS: Official @BernieSanders campaign statement on the @JoeBiden campaign's newest attempt tonight to pretend Biden didn't vote for the Iraq War
David Sirota Retweeted
I am actually surprised that @JoeBiden is now lying and saying he didn’t vote for the war in Iraq.
It’s such a preposterous lie.
Obama campaigned against him on this in 2008, and because it was closer to the vote, Biden didn’t try to pull this.
It’s sad to see, honestly.
.@CascaMike utterly destroys @Messina2012:
“If he spent less time in boardrooms courting CEOs, he'd witness the incredible energy generated by Bernie’s campaign...But please do make sure Jim gives our best to his dear friend Theresa May.”

BIDEN, MONTHS AFTER THE WAR STARTED: “9 months ago, I voted with my colleagues to give the president the authority to use force & I would vote that way again today...I commend the president. He was right to enforce the solemn commitments made by Saddam." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/09/09/bidens-claim-that-he-opposed-iraq-war-moment-it-started/ …
WAR IS PEACE:
@JoeBiden, February 2003: "Let everyone here be absolutely clear: I supported the resolution to go to war." https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/31/politics/fact-check-biden-buttigieg-iraq-afghanistan/index.html …
And yet, here's Biden's campaign pushing this out today:
JOE BIDEN LITERALLY CALLED IT "THE RESOLUTION TO GO TO WAR":
"Let everyone here be absolutely clear: I supported the resolution to go to war. I am NOT opposed to war to remove weapons of mass destruction from Iraq." - Biden, 2/3/03

Don't say we didn't tell you so -- we told you last week in BERN NOTICE that @JoeBiden is making an aggressive effort to erase his record leading America into the Iraq War. Now Biden is doubling down on that effort: https://bernie.substack.com/p/bern-notice-biden-is-trying-to-erase … https://twitter.com/davidsirota/status/1216155704634929157 …
Biden didn't just vote for the Iraq War resolution -- as Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, he helped the GOP kill Democratic amendments to limit the Iraq War resolution.

THIS IS COMPLETELY INSANE: @JoeBiden is having @JohnKerry defend Biden's vote for the Iraq War by saying his vote for Bush's Iraq War resolution "was not voting for the war.”
Apparently, war is peace.
