WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Joe Biden said Friday he anticipates some of Bernie Sanders’ most vocal and controversial supporters will go negative as he and the Vermont senator battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“What we can’t let happen is let this primary become a negative bloodbath. I know I’m going to get a lot of suggestions on how to respond to what I suspect will be an increasingly negative campaign that the Bernie Brothers will run,” he told the attendees of a Maryland fundraiser. “We can’t tear this party apart and reelect Trump. We have to keep our eyes on the ball, in my view.”

It was that Biden referred to “Bernie Bros” as “Bernie brothers” during the call that got everyone’s attention, including on Twitter, where a trending hashtag emerged Friday that was embraced both by Sanders’ followers and those poking fun at Biden’s phrasing.

“You ain’t ready for the Bernie Brothers,” tweeted Sanders supporter and doctor Victoria Dooley.
