1. Why are you posting this ? n/t

[phazed0]

2. Current news. Just happened.

[jaysunb]

4. Really ???/

I thought the primaries were over...at least they are here at DU.

[phazed0]

5. This isn't about the primaries. nt

[krawhitham]

7. Why bury your head in the sand?

[Buddyblazon]

8. Uh...probably because there is a video of an assault...

at a political function.

Sounds like the kind of stuff folks post at DU.

[demmiblue]

11. Because violence against women is never acceptable, regardless of politics. n/t

[Buddyblazon]

6. Unacceptable.

Eom

9. Unacceptable indeed. Has she laid charges?

I hope so.

[PotatoChip]

12. Yes (I think). She has filed "a complaint" with the police.

I don't know if that actually means charges will come out of it though...

Here is her account of what happened: https://usuncut.com/resistance/bernie-sanders-delegate-assaulted/

10. At least he didn't pick up a chair and put it down.

I'm sure that there will be a shiteload of DUers who will express some actual righteous outrage at this man who struck a woman. Amirite?

P.S. He looks familiar.

[BuelahWitch]

18. And also those who abhor violence against PoC

I wonder if the guy who hit her was a woman hating racist?

[demmiblue]

19. It wouldn't surprise me. n/t

[Hiraeth]

13. rec

[RoccoR5955]

14. Gee, and I thought that ONLY Sanders' supporters were the violent ones! n/t

[Duval]

15. I have no words.

[appalachiablue]

16. Shocking, an old man and Clinton delegate slapping, and then striking a woman

with a CANE in public and telling her "why don't you sit down!" at a Democratic event in NY this week. What sexist, racist and entitled behavior and clear display of white male privilege and anger directed at a minority woman of color. Treating this young woman, a Sanders supporter like a servant or animal is incredible and like something that would happen at a Trump rally.
Why isn't this ugly, violent incident being covered by the corporate news media? In pressing charges I hope the young woman who was assaulted is successful against this abusive man and that the derelict news media begins covering the case, pronto. ~ Many thanks to Cenk and TYT for bringing this nasty story to light.
