Karen Finney, the former senior adviser for Hillary for America, managed to alienate college liberals and supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the same sentence during a panel discussion on CNN about why Democrats lost the 2016 election.

Last weekend in Chicago, Sanders weighed in on what went wrong for Democrats during the 2016 election, and CNN’s Poppy Harlow aired a clip of his comments: “How did it come that Donald Trump, the most unpopular presidential candidate in the modern history of our country, won the election? My answer to that is Trump didn’t win the election; the Democrat Party lost the election.”

Harlow then posed the question to Finney: “Karen, is he right? Given your prominent role within the party, is he right? Does it need to reconcile these wings and come together or risk 2018 or 2020?”

The former Clinton spokeswoman and MSNBC host took the opportunity to lob bombs at both Sanders and the college liberals Democrats are struggling to win over to remain relevant.

“Bernie is certainly welcome to his opinion, and I know the bros are going to get all whipped up on Twitter when I say this, but he’s not a Democrat,” Finney said. “So, while he has every right to his opinion, I don’t take his opinion.”

Finney didn’t mention the Clinton campaign’s failures, or Clinton’s close ties to Wall Street, or the Democratic Party’s own attack on Sanders during the campaign that was exposed by Wikileaks. Instead, she alleged Sanders’ comments amount to an attack on all the little people who knocked on doors or volunteered their time to promote Democratic candidates.

“As someone who has actually done the work as part of the Democrat Party, made phone calls, knocked on doors, and, you know, every time when he attacks the party, one of the things I take issue with, he is attacking those rank-and-file people who do the work day-in and day-out, local elections, statewide elections,” she said.

“We’re not just talking about a presidential election, and we’re talking about people who volunteer their time for this party because they care about it.”

Finney then pivoted to Russia.

“I think our country is facing a much greater challenge when you look at a president who has a propensity to lie and not tell the truth, and we’re looking at the possibility of potential collusion with a foreign government that is hostile to this country,” she said.

“This is far more serious issue than, you know, what Bernie Sanders does or doesn’t say about the Democrat Party.”

Harlow attempted to steer the conversation back to Sanders, pointing out that he received millions of votes from Democrats during the 2016 – including a lot of bros – but Finney interrupted as the segment closed.

“Then he went back to being an independent,” she quipped.
