SAC on Scene - #Feel the BS

Your favorite anti-establishment hero won’t call off his dogs.
After the rally ended, my colleague and I went outside and saw the protesters. They weren’t scary, they were horrifying....
This is where I saw the key difference. Despite the clean, fatherly image of Bernie Sanders, his supporters are vile, villainous, and downright hateful.
I know not all Berners are like that, but I can now honestly say that the ones I saw, are. Nowhere have we — and I mean the media — seen Clinton supporters act like this. To frighten a child is wrong, inhumane, and malicious.....

We keep hearing how great Sanders is, how wonderful he will be in office, but if this is true, why does he allow his supporters to behave like this? Why has he not asked that they behave with some civility? And why does he put out rhetoric that fuels this fire?...
I get that this is a protest, but scaring children and disabled people? Calling people names? Where is the kind Bernie Sanders who made friends with a bird? How is he protecting them from the establishment?
