Bernie Sanders Supporters Force Early End to Hillary Clinton Speech

1thumb1-5-1Just days after Donald Trump sewed up the title of presumptive Republican presidential nominee, supporters of independent Vermont Senator and upstart Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came out in force to disrupt a Hillary Clinton speech in Los Angeles, forcing her to end the event early. Speaking to a largely Latino crowd in Monterey Park, Clinton weathered interruption after interruption, and as the local ABC affiliate reported, the protesters being led out all had Bernie Sanders’ name on their lips:.............

After protests, Clinton: "I think we'd be a lot better off if we actually talked to each other. Leave the yelling to the other side."

6. If this was the East L.A. College speech, they were unable to interrupt it.

A handful of Sanders supporters unsuccessfully tried to interrupt her evening speech, and scores more protested outside. Clinton, however, focused on a general-election argument by repeatedly skewering Trump, who became the presumptive GOP nominee as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich ended their presidential campaigns this week.

He has unleashed the rabid dogs, and he accepts their service.

Moral leadership? I think not. He needs to examine his conscience, if he still has one.

He needs to condemn these outrageous exhibitions of hatred.

He claimed that religion for him meant "Love your neighbor." Prove it, Bernie. Love your neighbor.

58. Yes I heard about it on the Obama Diary

BUT it was one tweet which I replied to suggesting
a "real" investigative journalist should ask who recruited them and how much they were paid.

I don't believe they were Bernie supporters. The reason I don't think it was Bernie supporters because the only people calling for civil war are on the republican side of the aisle. And this is how it starts. President Obama's term is up on Jan 20, 2017. We need to have a peaceful transition of power, which is what we call a general election.

[Hekate]

76. Please encourage investigative reporters to look into this, just as you say.

It is all too easy for RW agitators to infiltrate the activities of the politically naive, which seems to be the majority of Bernie's followers. I mean, really -- red flags? Cursing at children?

Secondly, why in God's holy name has Bernie himself not denounced this? Instead of condemning it and disassociating himself, he is saying the "protests" outside are hunky dory with him and it's all free speech.

It ends up appearing as though this angry old man shaking his finger at everyone actually approves of the worst of this behavior, which allows it to fester and increase.

Way to lose an election...

Some of the people I have class with who are Bernie supporters were shocked once they heard from the professor about the cruel things other supporters of his have said and done to HC and her supporters. This won't look good if he decides to run again, and rightfully so. Shame on him for not doing more to call them out.

No Bernie, This Is Not "Absolutely Appropriate"
Bernie Sanders speaking with Rachel Maddow today:

MADDOW: Let me just be clear though. In terms of people turning up and protesting outside and not disrupting?

SANDERS: Absolutely. If they want to do that, that is absolutely appropriate. Why not? That is what freedom of speech is about, what freedom of dissent is about. People standing outside by the hundreds, by the thousands, saying "look, we disagree". I think that’s exactly appropriate.

Maddow then further described to Sanders the extremely negative tone of recent protests, at which point he...started talking about Donald Trump.

Watch the exchange here:



In case you are wondering, this is what Rachel was talking about...and what Bernie finds "absolutely appropriate":
Also, this:
Senator Sanders, this is not okay. And it's certainly not "absolutely appropriate". In fact, in my entire life I've never seen anything like it in a Democratic primary...............

[NastyRiffraff]

89. Absolutely appropriate?

Yes, they were exercising their right of free speech. Indeed they were. But as my mama used to tell me, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do it. There are societal standards of basic, decent behavior, and those thugs didn't follow them.

Absolutely appropriate, my ass.

[sheshe2]

93. Well BS...

SANDERS: Absolutely. If they want to do that, that is absolutely appropriate. Why not? That is what freedom of speech is about, what freedom of dissent is about. People standing outside by the hundreds, by the thousands, saying "look, we disagree". I think that’s exactly appropriate.

So Bernie, yelling "FU" in front of little kids really just means, " look, we disagree."? Seriously Bernie? FFS!

[OKNancy]

78. more videos about this disgusting behavior

http://thedailybanter.com/2016/05/sanders-shout-obscenities-clinton-rally/

[BlueMTexpat]

80. From your link ...

Just a little while ago as of this writing, Rachel Maddow aired a one-on-one she did with Bernie Sanders earlier in the day. Toward the end of the interview, she confronted him about the behavior of some of his supporters, specifically those who protested both outside of a Hillary Clinton rally in East L.A. on Thursday and inside the rally. The constant disruptions inside the hall where Clinton was appearing forced her to cut short her comments to her own supporters, those who had come to hear her and her alone speak. When pressed about this by Maddow, Sanders stated that he doesn't agree with protesters' trying to stop Clinton from speaking by interrupting her. What he said he doesn't have a problem with, however, is protesters gathering -- even by the "thousands" -- outside of a venue where Clinton is appearing and making their voices heard.

At first blush there's nothing wrong with a statement like this, given that Sanders is right when he says that it's the right of every American to peaceable assemble and protest. But here's the thing: today, report after report from witnesses on the scene of Thursday's Clinton rally are saying that the Sanders supporters who showed up there were anything but peaceful. No, no one actually engaged in physical violence like at a Trump rally, but there are now numerous stories circulating on social media about Sanders fanatics shouting obscenities at Clinton supporters as they left the rally, grabbing campaign posters out of the hands of Clinton supporters, and hurling insults even at small children who happened to be there with their parents.

Through various accounts and actual photos and video of the scene, a picture is painted of enraged Sanders fans forming a kind of gauntlet around the rally attendees and forcing them to endure genuinely shocking verbal abuse, all for no other reason than the fact that they support Clinton and not Sanders. Read these tweets and watch these images and you'd honestly think the men, women and children being shouted down -- people from all walks of life, a couple of whom were even handicapped -- were common criminals and the Sanders supporters were angry townspeople who had gathered to shame them. But then, that's where we apparently are now with the Sanders zealots: they not only viciously attack anyone who dares to speak a kind word about Clinton online, they also arrogantly shut down her speeches and publicly, shamelessly thrash anyone who happens to be there. As one person who was at the rally wrote Friday at Medium, "They were cussing at people, calling women whores, and telling people to kill themselves. They were shouting in children's faces, blowing sirens in their ears, and making them cry."

[riversedge]

84. thank you. I have not seen some.

[Number23]

97. "Bernie supporters lining up yelling "fuck you" to Hillary supporters as they leave her rally

is exactly why he lost."

Ain't that the DAMN truth. And everybody on earth knows that the incessant, psychotic, panic-filled bullying started seemingly DAYS after his disastrous campaign began except for the morons engaging in the very behavior. Hopefully, they will be a huge footnote in the post-mortem of this primary. The behavior of these lunatics needs a thorough and deep examination.

That is a great article.

The thing is, if Sanders doesn't either immediately at least try to call off his dogs and change the tone of his campaign with respect to attacking Clinton or just drop out altogether, Democratic unity may be impossible. If that's the case -- and considering the relentless obsessiveness with which his fanatical following approaches this crusade of his -- you can look for the convention to potentially be drowned out by chaos. Never mind that the Democrats were supposed to be the adults in this room this election cycle. Never mind that the alternative to the Democrats is Donald Trump. Sanders's acolytes will risk all of that and so much more to make their entirely moot point. And if their anger won't sway the nomination -- and it won't -- they could very well spend months exacting their revenge on Hillary Clinton, potentially even if Sanders endorses Clinton and campaigns for her.

Because that's the problem. These lunatics are very likely well beyond Bernie Sanders's control at this point.

Every word is the complete and total truth.
