Criticizing Lewis and Huerta when they mess up shows them respect.

They are not delicate flowers. They are not gods. They are human beings who have done wonderful things and who can rightly be criticized when they mess up. Anyone who knows the history of the UFW and Chavez and Huerta knows that deifying the leaders of that movement is a mistake. They are among my heroes but I do not worship my heroes.

Huerta's statement about Bernie's record on immigration rights clearly misrepresented his record. It was obviously unfair. I will show her the respect of pointing that out. I would also encourage her to delete the tweet about what happened in Vegas if she was mistaken. To do that is to treat her with respect. I will not call accuse her of taking a bribe or being bought off. That would be a smear. She supported Clinton long before the donation to her charity from the Clinton foundation. There is no evidence that the donation has affected her behavior in this primary.

Viva Huerta! Viva Bernie!
