Former Vice President Joe Biden has released a new digital ad in South Carolina slamming Sen. Bernie Sanders, accusing his opponent of attempting to undercut President Barack Obama's reelection campaign in 2012.
The video begins with a montage of anchors announcing Obama's reelection campaign before a narrator says,"When we rallied together to defend our president and all the progress he made, they had his back," showing footage of supporters. A photo of Biden appears as the narrator reads,"He had his back," and more footage of supporters is shown as the narrator continues,"And you had his back.
Bernie Sanders never considered a primary challenge to Obama. Bernie was running for reelection in 2012 and that's what he was focused on."Biden has started to use this line of attack more on the campaign trail, swiping at Sanders without using his name at his Nevada caucus party, claiming he was proud to run with Obama and adding,"I'll tell you what -- I promise you I wasn't talking about running a Democratic primary against him in 2012 like some people.
