CNN Anchors Criticize Sanders for Not ‘Saying Anything Nice’ About Biden in Concession Speech

After Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) completed his concession speech and dropped out of the Democratic primary, some CNN anchors appeared to take issue with him apparently leaving out praise for the presumptive nominee Joe Biden.

Sanders, who dropped out of the race late Wednesday morning, published a live video to address his supporters. During the speech, he explained why he was dropping out and promised to continue to fight for the values he laid out in his campaign.

But CNN anchors John King and Dana Bash did not seem to think he struck the right tone.

“He didn’t say anything nice about 👤Joe Biden,” King said.

“He did not say he had spoken to him. He did not say he would work with him. He said it was imperative to beat President Trump. But there was no big embrace of 👤Joe Biden. He said nicer things about 👤Joe Biden back during some of the Democratic debates than he said in saying goodbye.”
