Jeff Weaver blames others--not the Sanders fans who misbehaved-they assume no responsibility

[riversedge]

for the yelling, harassment of NV Dem Party officials, chalking up the NV Dem party building etc, calling a Democratic Senator a B**ch etc.........

Sanders is no leader! I can honestly say that I used to have some respect for Sanders. Not anymore.

Sanders campaign manager: There won't be violence in Philadelphia

........
"There's not going to be any violence in Philadelphia, Wolf, I guarantee that," Jeff Weaver said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "We hope for a fair and orderly convention. I think whoever the ultimate nominee is we want to unify the party on the back of the convention so we can all go out and defeat Donald Trump in the fall."

Weaver's comments come in the wake of a tumultuous state convention in Las Vegas over the weekend which Sanders supporters sought to derail the event out of frustration over the delegate allocation process. Some participants at the event focused their ire on Nevada Democratic Party Chairwoman Roberta Lange, posting her phone number online, which resulted in a flood of death threats.

"What happened in Nevada, I think, is an aberration in large part driven by the way that that party handled itself," Weaver continued. "We've been involved in conventions all across this country, in states from one end of the country to the other. Nothing like this has happened and so this is really anomalous, but this is really tied to what happened in Nevada itself."

1. Bernie has never been to a convention.

Has Weaver?

[Cha]

2. Damn straight there won't be any violence in Philly.. because if they try that

shite there they will be out.

Now they've been warned.. that BS fans can't taking LOSING.

thanks rivers.

14. Hi Cha. I would not count them out making trouble in Philly. IMHO

[puffy socks]

3. Oh

Jeff Weaver guarantees no violence at the convention.
And what that means is they will engage in violence and then they will go on a gaslighting denial campaign on social media

[stonecutter357]

4. Do you think Jeff Weaver is a RWNJ are a Paulbot?

[BlueCaliDem]

10. Libertarian, which makes him a Paulbot.

[DemonGoddess]

5. Of course it's

the party's fault. St. Bernie does no wrong. Ever. The sun rises and sets because of him! Worship him or be consigned to hell!

That tool and his master need to go back to Vermont. They need to never darken the stage of Democratic politics again.

[Iliyah]

6. In other words, it's the complete opposite

so therefore, the Democratic Party's convention will be ready.

On side note. DNC, please let this be a learning experience.

7. All respect is gone for Bernie...

Such an angry old man and his true self is now carrying into his supporters. June 7th can't come soon enough... I'm glad the MSM is finally calling him out on this. I'm sure Hillary just wants him out but kind of needs his support to unite the party...just hope he comes through. All his talk of not allowing Trump in WH needs to be his focus, not his stupid pipe dreams/demands... Ugh...my stomach hurts...

8. Classic GOPer projection.

Now done by latter-day Dems.

[LisaM]

9. Nothing like this has happened? What about Snohomish County,WA?

Sanders supporters were raucous and unruly and booed Patty Murray off the stage, among other things. Did not get a lot of coverage but it happened.

[BlueCaliDem]

11. After his disastrous, anti-Democratic Party campaign, I've lost ALL respect for Sanders.

Every. Single. Ounce.

In my view, he's no better than Ron and Rand Paul. No better than Paul Ryan. No better than every Libertarian I've come to loathe.

[George II]

12. That's always the response - it was someone else's fault - the DNC, the Oligarchy, Wall Shtreet,

the Establishment, fraud, rigged, fixed, blah blah blah.

Even this morning when Weaver was running down his litany of "THEIR faults", he threw in that the DNC shut them out of the voter database in December, never admitting that they HACKED INTO CLINTON'S DATABASE! That is why they were "shut out".

[BobbyDrake]

13. I think "aberration" is wishful thinking on Weaver's part.

The only difference, in my opinion, between Nevada and elsewhere is opportunity. Most other caucuses are wrapped up, and there are no additional stages of normal primaries where one candidate's supporters can try to steal the election away from the other candidate who actual won on election day. Only in NV could Bernie try to have his supporters overturn the results of a Democratic election, which succeeded at the mid-stage of the plan but was fortunately stopped by Clinton supporters showing up in force to the final convention.

Funny how Clinton's delegates showed up in large numbers when they received the correct information about the event. Unlike the mid-stage when a Sanders supporter sent fliers with incorrect information on them to keep Clinton delegates away!
