During an appearance Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sanders deflected a question about whether the remark was appropriate.
"A brief mention of Monica Lewinsky by a prominent Bernie Sanders supporter sparked controversy on the campaign trail this weekend, with Hillary Clinton’s team accusing her Democratic presidential rival of condoning “vitriol.”
"Actress Rosario Dawson, who has campaigned with Sanders on several occasions, brought up the former White House intern on Saturday during a Sanders rally in Wilmington, Del., referencing the work that Lewinsky now does to combat cyberbullying. Dawson said she and other Sanders supporters were being bullied by Clinton’s allies.
“ 'We are literally under attack for not just supporting the other candidate,” Dawson said in remarks introducing Sanders to the crowd. “Now I’m with Monica Lewinsky with this. Bullying is bad. She has actually dedicated her life now to talking about that. And now as a campaign strategy, we are being bullied, and, somehow, that is okay and not being talked about with the richness that it needs.' ”
