For days, Sanders and his team have leveled accusations against a leading Democratic think tank even as he seeks the party’s nomination for president.

Sanders has been upset about a video by ThinkProgress, a project of an independent affiliated organization, called Center for American Progress Action, or CAP Action. The video described how Sanders had reduced his use of the term “millionaires” to describe the nation’s wealthy after he personally earned more than $1 million in 2017, largely from book sales.
“We appreciate the statement. It affirms one of the concerns Senator Sanders had,” Shakir wrote in a text message. “Look forward to working in a more productive manner if possible.” Under Sanders’s plan, government-backed health care would supplant the current private employer system. Under the CAP proposal, individuals would be able to choose between their current plan and a government-run option. There have been other policy disagreements as well. Tanden personally sided with Clinton over Sanders in a 2016 debate about how quickly to raise the federal minimum wage, calling for a $12 increase, not a $15 increase.
“No one at CAP has ever talked to me about political ideology. No one at CAP has ever said to me you should write nice things about somebody or write mean things about somebody else,” said Enda, who employs a staff of nearly 40. “I’ve told my reporters that we are going to be honest brokers in the Democratic primary.”
The CAP website lists its corporate donors, which do not include any 2018 contributions from pharmaceutical or fossil fuel companies. People who work at CAP and CAP Action pointed out that because Shakir used to work at ThinkProgress, he was aware of the editorial wall between the think tank and the liberal news and commentary operation.
