The bros who love Bernie Sanders have become a sexist mob

But with the Iowa caucuses now days away, a subset of Sanders supporters has become extremely vocal. Their messages, which are oftentimes derogatory and misogynistic, are geared at Clinton supporters (or anyone who disagrees with Sanders for that matter). They've even become prominent enough to earn a nickname: the "BernieBros."

"They're a mob, and it's not positive toward their candidate, it's trying to tear you down from supporting Hillary," "They're a mob, and it's not positive toward their candidate, it's trying to tear you down from supporting Hillary," said one chief of staff for a Democratic member of Congress who's endorsed Clinton.

Imagine how it would be if he were President and they dissented from any of his proposals.

They flooded the telephone lines on a recent Brian Lehrer program with their "Oligarchy" and "Hillary War Monger" crap and were basically laughed at about their paranoia of the media, government and everyone else being against Poor Bernie.

The BerbieBros are persona non grata all over the airwaves. That still doesn't stop the media from pandering to their baseless hopes and fears. Anything for the ratings!
