Ironically “Jane Sanders” is Trending as She is Being Attacked by Sexist HRC Supporters

https://pivotamerica.com/ironically-jane-sanders-attacked-hillary-supporters-manner-sexist-comments/

It’s amazing that for months and months the Hillary Clinton campaign and her followers scream “sexist” at every negative comment even ones on her policies, and then in one night can shatter that whole narrative as well as the one of the “Bernie Bro” by attacking Jane Sanders looks, her appearance, the kind of clothes she wears, or her weight.

This attack definitely makes the Clinton campaign look very desperate. Many believe they attacked Jane to get Bill Clinton off the trending list.


This is horrific... These people have doo doo in their hearts and souls.

The Hillary camp, with their shiny, new campaign tactic, "Disqualify, Defeat and Unify" is going at warp speed.

They said it would happen and here it is.

Day 3 of the shit show.

This is exactly the kind of classless junk that Trump throws out.

I doubt that the Clinton camp made those Tweets. Possibly they were hacked. However, her campaign is in crazy, slash-and-burn mode and is spinning out of control.

We've always said that the Democratic party is better than the clown-car Republicans. Bernie supporters are, but Clinton and her "DDU" mess clearly are in their own clown car.

Not glamorous or stuffy. She hasn't gotten "made over" (yet. ).

If it is Hillary supporters doing this I hope they stop and Hillary should say something about it to condemn this behavior. I have seen Hillary supporters all over the Internet and even here and they are by far the most civil and thoughtful supported and do need to stoop to this bullshit.

He is a great feminist! I know because he works for Hillary Clinton, but even a feminist Icon like him can make mistakes, like slut shaming and making the victim of sexual harassment appear as the offender, it happens all the time that such supporters of women's rights as he make little mistakes like that.

Anita Hill was a Professional black woman of impeccable integrity and so I can't help but see HIM as:

But I have to say it...
These Hillary supporters that are going after Jane's figure really blow my mind. Hillary is an attractive woman but she is not exactly petite either. They just carry their curves in different places.

It's really sad that they have to go there.

Nor do I feel compelled to defend random Clinton supporters around the country, as though their behavior as anything to do with me. Assholes come in all varieties. I see no reason to conclude that simply because someone shares my preference in a political candidate that they are incapable of engaging in assholish behavior.

I recently posted a thread documenting FEC violations by the Sanders campaign, and a poster tried to dismiss the evidence by posting a tweet on an entirely unrelated topic that they attributed to a Clinton supporter, as though it had anything to do with me or the FEC documentation. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511628659
The point was clear: Don't bother with inconvenient facts. Anyone who fails to support Bernie is disreputable.

Her lie was also debunked:

No, Social Media Warriors. Bernie Sanders Did Not Get $23M In 'Illegal Contributions'

For weeks now, I've seen social media warriors put out the claim that Bernie Sanders has received $23 million in "illegal campaign contributions" from donors. Another common allegation concerns one contribution from a corporation that the FEC questioned.

Sadly, there is an element of our society that think this is acceptable behavior. All female politicians are aware that there is a different standard for them than for male politicians. The sad thing is that Mrs. Sanders is not used to this level of public attention and public scrutiny, so I hope that she has a thick skin.

I cannot believe that Secretary Clinton would have condoned this, if indeed it came from people connected to her campaign. It certainly doesn't help her. We'll find out soon enough if this keeps happening.
