Joe Biden accused Bernie Sanders’ campaign of releasing what he called a “doctored video” purporting to show the former vice president agreeing with Republican proposals to privatize Social Security.

“It’s simply a lie, that video is a lie,” Biden said at a campaign event in Indianola, Iowa, on Saturday. “I’m looking for his campaign to come forward and disown it but they haven’t done it yet.”
