Sanders Suggests His Emails Could Be Worse

October 24, 2016 at 12:27 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Sen. Bernie Sanders admitted that if his own campaign staff’s emails were to be hacked, they’d contain substantially unflattering messages about Hillary Clinton, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Sanders: “Trust me, if they went into our emails — I suppose which may happen, who knows — I’m sure there would be statements that would be less than flattering about, you know, the Clinton staff. That’s what happens in campaigns.”
