Bloomberg adviser: Sanders said 'toddlers should run around naked and touch each other’s genitals'

A top adviser for Michael Bloomberg gave a preview of the type of attacks that will be used against Bernie Sanders in Tuesday night’s debate as Democrats try to rein in his momentum.

Tim O’Brien, senior adviser to the Bloomberg campaign, announced the team would be dropping its policy of not lobbing criticism at fellow Democratic candidates ahead of the South Carolina primary. During an interview on CNN, O'Brien questioned Sanders’s record.

“It’s a primary now. People are holding each other accountable. For the most part, we haven’t gone after other Democrats,” O’Brien said. “I think Bernie’s campaign has run itself in a very thuggish way. There are very Trumpy-like aspects to the way that Bernie has been running things.”
