David Brock Declines to Apologize to Bernie Sanders Over Jeremy Corbyn Comparison

The founder of the pro-Clinton group Correct the Record said that the comparison the UK labor leader was “standard opposition research.”

David Brock Unapologetic About Going After Bernie Sanders

One of Hillary Clinton's chief defenders shrugged off his super-PAC's apparent linking of Bernie Sanders to the United Kingdom's new Labour Party leader, saying Tuesday that his group was just engaged in business as usual when it sent quotes from Jeremy Corbyn to a Huffington Post reporter.

“I’m not making the contrast. I’m putting the facts out,” David Brock, the founder of several pro-Clinton groups, including Correct the Record, said on Bloomberg's With All Due Respect. Clinton and Sanders have not directly attacked one another, but the message sent on Monday to the Huffington Post by Correct the Record details “similarities” between Sanders's positions and some of Corbyn's “most extreme comments,” including calling the killing of Osama bin Laden “a tragedy.”
