Contrary to what Mark Murray claimed, Teachout is not on Berrie's actual campaign team.
"Sanders apologizes to Biden for surrogate op-ed
Senator Bernie Sanders apologized to former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday for an op-ed written by one of his campaign surrogates that claimed Biden has a "big corruption problem."
"It is absolutely not my view that Joe is corrupt in any way. And I'm sorry that that op-ed appeared," Sanders told CBS News.
The op-ed, published in The Guardian by law professor Zephyr Teachout, claims Biden "has perfected the art of taking big contributions, then representing his corporate donors at the cost of middle- and working-class Americans."
"Converting campaign contributions into legislative favors and policy positions isn't being 'moderate,'" Teachout wrote. "It is the kind of transactional politics Americans have come to loathe."
While Teachout does not officially work on the Sanders campaign, she stumps for him, and has introduced and endorsed him."
