The Bernie Sanders campaign is openly warring with the Democratic National Committee today after their campaign improperly accessed Hillary Clinton voter data. In response, the DNC cut off the Sanders campaign’s access to its voter data.

The Sanders camp said the failure of the system firewall wasn’t their fault, it was the DNC’s. On CNN this afternoon, Jake Tapper spoke with Sanders campaign senior adviser Tad Devine and asked them exactly how they’re the victims here when their staffers were the ones in the wrong.

Devine argued that “the remedy imposed here by the Democratic National Committee is extreme” because they need fair access to that voter data too. There are reports four staffers breached the data, and after the campaign fired one staffer, Tapper asked, “The other three breached it and they’re still working for you?”

Devine insisted information from their campaign was exposed too and they acted in good faith by privately alerting the DNC of the problem months ago when they first noticed.

Tappre responded, “I respect the attempt at jujitsu here and turn this into something where you guys are the victims, but it was your campaign that actually peeked into the information.”
