AIDS Group: We never endorsed Bernie | Bernie strikes back
Mr. Staley and 18 other AIDS Activist who are part of a CA coalition met Sanders this week in CA.
Sanders and his campaign claims they endorsed him and have been running ads about it.
Mr. Staley and his fellow activist claim they never endorsed Sanders nor did they endorse anyone else.
You can read AIDS coalition email to Sanders campaign here correct them.

Bernie's Campaign responded with
https://berniesanders.com/issues/hiv-and-aids/
Pharmaceutical companies are expected to spend as much as $100 million to defeat the Drug Price Relief Act. That fact alone is a major reason why we will continue to do everything we can to support this important initiative.
We're proud to stand with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, National Nurses United, AARP of California, and many other groups who understand that this ballot initiative will significantly lower drug prices and could save lives. Bernie Sanders has spent his career fighting pharmaceutical greed. He's not about to stop now.

This is all due to the fact that Sanders and his campaign mistook the meeting as an endorsement and are very angry when the activists corrected them.

The establishment is on an all out push to stop Sanders. They will stop at nothing to try to discredit him while backing an already known criminal in Hillary...
Sadly this will most likely lead to a Trump presidency because the DNC is backing a loser.

This has nothing to do with the establishment.
It has to do with Sanders inviting them to a meeting about policy, then lying about them endorsing him, with them sending an email correcting him by stating they are politically neutral as they've always been.
He ordered his campaign to take them down for them refusing to support him by abandoning their neutrality.
This is on top of Sanders horrible interview Thursday Night on Univision, where he openly stated he's too busy running for president to learn and care about Latin America and about socialist governments.
He tore into the Univision interviewer for wasting his time and accused Univision of being Pro Hillary.
(Univision has been pro Sanders for this election beating up Hillary at ever chance).
If anything Trump wants Sanders to win because Americans hate communist (which Sanders has expressed a love for), which would be easy to take down.

This is all so sad, and so unnecessary. We actually had a good meeting with Senator Sanders (see HealthGAP's press release, and my and others early posts about it), and then it all blew up into a shit-show when Bernie's team used us (in their press release) and then abused us (launched personal attacks, firmly hitching their train to AHF's slime machine). Our coalition will issue another press release on Tuesday that will reflect on the actual meeting we attended (not the one Gunnels dreamed up), and we will thank the Senator for some of the promises he made.
Our only goal, from the day Clinton made her AIDS gaffe, was to push all the campaigns to make some firmer promises in the fight against HIV/AIDS -- to turn lemons into lemonade. I hope the Sanders campaign will re-engage with us towards that end.
After Tuesday, we'll pivot back to the Clinton campaign (that process hasn't really stopped). They have promised us a meeting with their senior policy folks to discuss our harder asks. We will raise bloody hell if that meeting doesn't happen in the weeks ahead. We will also ask her campaign to reopen a dialogue with the Trans United Fund over their unfilled questionnaire.
And finally, we have to keep fighting against outrageous drug prices, especially HIV, PrEP and HepC drugs. Personally, I don't believe for one second this is an issue that Michael Weinstein and AHF are serious about. Most AIDS activists support workable government price controls like those used throughout Europe. Senator Sanders, can we save you from Weinstein, and discuss how to create a real revolution on drug prices?
Mr. Staley responded to Mr. Gunnels (Senior Advisor of Sanders) latest attacks on him and fellow organizers for refusing to cave and support Sanders.
You can follow Mr. Gunnels aggressive posting on Twitter for Bernie.
Today he is getting backlash from the LGBT and AIDS people for the attacks on Mr. Staley and others.

There also talking to the Trump and GOP over AIDS issues.

Bullsh*t. It has everything to do with the establishment. These people are obviously f*cking lying and dumb asses are eating it up like candy. They will stop at nothing to derail Sanders. They are scared as f*ck that he will stand up to them and their corrupt hold over Americans will come to an end. They can't buy him like they bought Hillary. Clinton will sell America to the highest bidder, probably already has...
Bernie was for LGBT rights even before it was a thing: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... ngton.html
This is the real Bernie Sanders. He's not the piece of crap the corrupt corporate media wants everyone to believe.
