TWEETS:
@dnahealthnut Seems like Sanders had the perfect chance to publicly condemn the dangerous behavior of his fans but instead walked away!

@sabrinaelisa10 @mmurraypolitics @DannyEFreeman Walking away from reporters, dismissing tough questions is typical form for @BernieSanders.

[basselope]

1. Good for him!

[Ferd Berfel]

18. Yep - GOod for Bernie!

[grasswire]

2. step back from twitter

It's really toxic right now.

Calm yourself.

[riversedge]

5. Sanders gets angry and walks away! Not presidential at all-nor good optics for him

17. where does it say he was angry?

He may have a right to be angry. Stupid questions about stupid contrived "scandals". He wants to talk about issues. You people want to stop him from that, apparently.

[MariaThinks]

52. bernie seems to walk away from a lot of tough questions

imagine if Hillary had done that.

[CrowCityDem]

3. #BernedOut

[underthematrix]

4. Yep Twitter is handling this and

throwing MAJOR SHADE at Bernie and his supporters.

It is something to behold.

[Hortensis]

50. Oh, excellent. Thanks for the report.

[lunamagica]

6. How presidential of him

[monmouth4]

7. Good for him!

[aikoaiko]

8. In the words of Yahbe and go: we don't trust what she says and we don't like what she has done.

I'll add that goes for her supporters' tweets, too.

[grasswire]

19. definitely some agitprop going on there.

whipping people up to avoid talking about issues

[riversedge]

9. Cnn reporting on this now and played the vile voice tape...

[Hortensis]

51. I got the impression he really hated not

being able to praise his employees' and supporters' behavior. Not. Exactly. An. Apology!

Good for him. Funny how even villainy thinly veiled with denial is so preferable to nauseating hypocrisy.

[lumberjack_jeff]

10. Good. They were justifiably pissed.

And I don't need or expect Sanders to make excuses for me, any more than Clinton needs to answer for assailants who beat up women.

[sadoldgirl]

11. Has HRC condemned the behavior of Roberta Lange yet?????

[B Calm]

47. Still waiting for Hillary to denounce the Nevada leadership, but I wouldn't hold my breath. You see

this whole damn thing was staged to paint the Bernie Delegates as the disrupters all in preparation for the National Convention.

[NurseJackie]

12. I figured he'd at LEAST have passively said that it's not what he "condones"…

... to avoid having to condemn the actions (and upset his base supporters). But he WALKS AWAY from the question and says NOTHING?

Wow. That just confirms what many of us have known about him all along. He's just not presidential. He's shown us this side of himself many times during the debates, and during various interviews (the first one with Judy Woodruff still stays in my mind) and now, when given a golden opportunity to prove us wrong, he instead proves us right.


(Alerter: These are my personal observations and my personal opinions.)

[AgingAmerican]

13. Said behavior never happened

[lunamagica]

29. It did happen. It's on video

[AgingAmerican]

31. Link please

Thanks in advance.

And don't give the standard, "Google it" because it does not exist.

[lunamagica]

36. Of course. It took me a minute to find this. And you are welcome.

there is the whole segment with Andrea Mitchel on MSNBC

https://bluenationreview.com/bernie-sanders-walks-away-from-question-about-chaos-at-nv-convention/

Andrea Mitchell commenting on Sanders walking away "I guess he said they'd have some reaction later". Seriously? Does he needs his consultants for this? Can't he think on his feet?

See? It does exist.

[AgingAmerican]

38. So there is no video

Just Clinton surrogates feigning outrage.

[lunamagica]

40. Did you click the link? Thaat's where the video is. THE VIDEO

[AgingAmerican]

42. Yes I did

And there is no video of chairs and punches being thrown. That is because it didn't happen.

[lunamagica]

43. I was talking about the video of Sanders walking out. That's what the OP is about

[Maru Kitteh]

44. That one has some trouble keeping up.

[AgingAmerican]

45. No chairs were thrown, no punches were thrown, thus no video exists - so nothing to apologize for.

Hope that clarifies for ya..

[lunamagica]

46. Obviously...or he got owned, and it's deflecting. Hard to believe anyone is that clueless

[Maru Kitteh]

48. I think it's the perfect balance of totally clueless and deflection. A synergistic mix

that keeps reality safely far, far, far away from the beleaguered mind.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. It's fascinating to see the cognitive dissonance on display. Even the ONLY senator to endorse

SBS (Jeff Merkley) compared the followers at that convention to Republicans and called their actions "thuggery" today on CNN. The twisted logic employed by some here is an attempt at self-preservation for their weakened and weary minds. Too much math, too many facts, too much before their eyes that does not fit into their schema. Some of them come up with so many wild, tangential, frankly nutso conspiracy theories to save themselves from the fact that their candidate simply was not chosen by the voters.

[AgingAmerican]

39. Do you know what cognitive dissonance is?

[ThePhilosopher04]

14. There's nothing to condemn. He's fighting for the rights of the American people. Good for Bernie!

[Txbluedog]

22. Then why not say something in support

[hollowdweller]

15. Maybe we can send those guys to counter the Brooks Brothers Riot when 2016 vote is disputed?

I personally am happy to see some dems raising some hell.

Would have like to see the teachers in Wisconsin shut down the state.

Would have liked to see some real hell raised over the Iraq war.

People have forgot how the working class won a seat at the table and it was not by playing nice.

[eastwestdem]

16. I'm using that one in my political discussion group tonight. There is no excuse for refusing to

condemn violence.

[grasswire]

20. this thread is really hilarious

A textbook lesson in propaganda.

[workinclasszero]

21. Then he owns it

And all the shit the bern victims are planning for Philly as well!

[riversedge]

23. Yes, Sanders owns it now. He had the chance and walked away. Not good for Sanders.

[G_j]

34. why not own your assertion

with a link to the video?

[AgingAmerican]

41. There is nothing to own

Phony outrage and phony accusations are not worthy of comment.

[JaneyVee]

24. Typical Bernie.

[TheFarseer]

25. Never appologise in a campaign.

They'll only hit you harder after you've "admitted" you were wrong.

Has Hillary appologized for every bad thing a supported has done?

[CrowCityDem]

27. "Never apologize". Who else says that? Oh yeah, TRUMP.

[Trust Buster]

26. Sanders is vile. He's no leader.

[Bobbie Jo]

28. This is no leader. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

30. That was a very chicken-shit, non-response by SBS to a very serious problem

He is NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME.

[nc4bo]

32. And Hill said she wasn't aware of anything at all.

But we all know that was another lie.

[jillan]

33. Good for him for biting his tongue.

[Jester Messiah]

37. How many repetitions of this thread are we going to see?

He didn't rise to this bullshit and I'm glad he didn't. He's not going to confirm Hillary's bullshit narrative, so deal with it.

[Maru Kitteh]

49. Makes you uncomfortable? Follow the leader and just walk away.

simple

[lumberjack_jeff]

53. Anyone remember Manuel Noriega?

We invaded Panama largely because of his theft of the 1989 election. Jimmy Carter, there as an observer, described it as "stolen".

At one time we thought that violence against democracy itself was a pretty big deal.

[m-lekktor]

54. Has Hillary condemned that actor who punched a Bernie supporter in Atlanta?

Yeah I didn't think so.
