WASHINGTON (AP) — Bernie Sanders is warning the Democratic Party not to attack its own candidates in primary battles, as happened in a Houston-area congressional race.
The Vermont senator said it's "appalling" that the party's congressional campaign arm targeted Laura Moser ahead of Tuesday's primary election. Moser, an activist, is endorsed by Sanders' Our Revolution group.
Sanders told The Associated Press on Wednesday that such attacks are "not acceptable."
Moser advanced to a runoff with Democratic front-runner Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, despite the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee publishing an opposition research memo calling her "a Washington insider who begrudgingly moved to Texas" to run for Congress.
A Houston native who attended high school there, Moser was also targeted by the campaign arm for joking that she'd "rather have my teeth pulled out without anesthesia" than live in small-town Texas.
