Good for Lucy Flores.
This is strong statement condemning the actions of some Sanders supporters in Nevada. It was needed after the embarrassment at the convention this weekend.
Thank you Lucy Flores!
Progressives need to speak out against those: making threats against someones life, defacing private property, and hurling vulgar language at our female leaders. Regardless of whether you agree with the leadership of our Chairwoman Roberta Lange, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do her actions warrant being harassed, insulted with misogynistic vulgarities and or threatened in any way.

Yes Gracias for denouncing the violence of the sanders supporters @ the Nevada State Convention.. somebody has to from that campaign since sander wouldn't do it.
But thats down the road. Bernie Sanders is going to face far more public neutering from all sides in the mean time. Lucy Flores, a congressional candidate in Nevada who has been so tight with Sanders that theyve been co-fundraising, put out a statement condemning the actions of the violent Bernie loons at her states convention. Shes clearly not willing to allow her career to be derailed by association Bernies apparent descent into bitter madness.

As far as I am concerned, every Sanders' supporter now endorses the behavior of their representatives in Nevada who shouted vulgarities and sexist comments at Barbara Boxer.
From now on, everyone who votes for Bernie is complicit in the death threats his followers made. Not just because they probably agree with this disgusting behavior, but because Bernie made it clear last night that he does.

(2,542 posts)How honest can a criticism if behavior be when prefaced by "I share the frustrations" and other qualifying statements?
I'm still waiting for an unequivocal statement from Sanders like "Violence and misogyny has no place in politics and no one who exhibits such behavior is a supporter I want on my side." But I'm not holding my breath waiting for it.
