And I don't think they'll appreciate being used as props.

As soon as people view that video and all of the facts are laid out--no one will buy into this dirty trick. Just like the Capehart debacle.

People are sorting through all of this right now.

They will get it.

The Clinton dirty-tricks may win in the short run, but the long-term prospects will most likely implode her entire campaign.

They just simply aren't.

As with so many of the self-righteous claims by both camps, this is simply ridiculous for people to believe. It is my hope that people start getting serious about the actual fight we have ahead against the true enemy.

They are convincing. In the face of that, your personal statement, and the one on behalf of an entire race, is not believable.

How about you don't tell people what to post. See how that works?

You can't even admit that there was a misrepresentation, or even a possible misunderstanding. Your position is that you stand with Delores Huerta. Full stop. This is despite multiple videos, and conflicting eyewitness accounts showing that what was initially claimed never happened. You can't fucking spin it. You don't know how the internet works.

If you win SC, why stop at just a win?

Make sure that someone lies on their way out the door then Tweets about it---so the Hillary campaign can further drive wedges in the Democratic party between Sanders supporters/Hispanics or Sanders supporters/blacks.

You'll sure show us!

You'll blow up the entire party on your way to the White House!

We appreciate it. I mean, the actual message of your 'suggestion' is clearly supportive of Sanders.

"Stop discussing the person who demonstrably lied on the biggest social media outlet because people don't like the truth."

Does your campaign ever stop for a single, solitary second to consider what message you're actually sending, or do you sabotage them this effectively intentionally?

But most of all, Clinton's obsession with using people of one race to attack another race is destroying the Democratic Party. Such a worthy legacy for her...and available on the internet forever, like Huerta's tweet and the video proving she lied.

Don't you just love being used by a politician for her own personal gain? What's old is new, again and again, for Clinton.

Latinos and Africcan-Anericans do not have a generally positive outlook on angry white people attacking respected members of their communities.

Shrieking about them is a selfish act.

People are saying all sorts of nasty things about those who are questioning why a civil rights advocate might have motives for doing her benefactors what might have seemed like a harmless favor. So be prepared for the ensuing attack.

It's ironic that they're so damn selective about the civil right activists they deem too saintly to be criticized. Can you imagine if they didn't employee double standards in their judgement of all activists- how revered Senator Sanders would be in their eyes?

Huerta saying she knew it was Bernie supporters isn't true either. The crowd had not been split up in sides at that time, so it wasn't Bernie one side Hillary the other when this happened.

There is a full video in the link, NO ONE chanted English only, NO ONE shouted down Dolores Huerta, some people objected to her being the person who would translate as she is a surrogate of Hillary's campaign.

I'll not call Mrs. Huerta a liar, I don't know her. Her tweet however is not true. And even icons can get heated and misspeak.
