Related: About this forumBernie was invited, he could also be uninvited. Did they not know he was running for president?
Are they pretending they did not know he was running for president? There was no need to invite Bernie was there? They could have easily rejected Bernie.
Europeans know Bernie very well, and they know he is running for the presidency. He gets much better press in Europe than he does here.

"A senior Vatican official accused Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders of showing a monumental discourtesy in his lobbying for an invitation to a church-sponsored conference on economic and environmental issues for political purposes.
<snip>
The head of the academy said Friday that Sanders sought the invitation and that put an inappropriate political cast on the gathering.
Sanders made the first move, for the obvious reasons, Margaret Archer, president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, which is hosting the conference Sanders will attend, said in a telephone interview. I think in a sense he may be going for the Catholic vote but this is not the Catholic vote and he should remember that and act accordingly -- not that he will.

They had zero incentive, nor did they owe Bernie anything. So why invite him then?
