Rendell, a Clinton supporter, said that could undermine Sanders’s effort to address wealth inequality and campaign finance reform. “If we win this, every one of those great people who have helped us get this far, they will be rehired”, Sanders said, according to the newspaper. “Every day we’re getting attacked and our record is being distorted”, he said.
