Thom Hartmann today talked about the Nevada brouhaha inviting Nevada local Erin Bilbray and former
Ohio State Senator Nina Turner.
Both of them said there was NO violence, unless you call hugging violent. Bilbray said she saw a burner supporter at one point pick up a chair and another person came over to talk to him and they solved the hassle by hugging each other.
Thom Hartmann has asked anyone who has video evidence of additional abuse to send him evidence of this, but no one has.
At the same time the Chairwoman ran the meeting in a very unparliamentariany fashion. For example, according to Erin on Thom's show today, people who wanted to offer proposals at that meeting were told that they had to have 20% of the delegates supporting those amendments, and a group of Bernie supporters did that.
But when they tried to offer them, the chairwoman ignored them.
At one point those running the meeting said that they could not hear those offering the proposals, and when one young lady got a bullhorn so she could be heard, it was taken away from her and she was told that bullhorns weren't allowed.
it was following this that things unspooled to the point that Boxer got booed and Boxer said three times that Hillary would win, and said that opposing this with boos would hurt the Republican cause.
Basic point -- No violence at all! Deborah Wasserman-Schults lied about the events!
And as Hartmann said, perhaps these accusations of violence were intended to influence the KY primary and make Hillary the winner. As they probably did.
My point here -- as a 66 (soon to be 67) year old -- I warn people not to piss off the young. They are far smarter than I am. Are very committed and they know the stakes involved with climate change, with the .1% ripping off everything.
As for Wasserman-Schultz -- what a disappointment. As Nina Turner said on the Hartmann show, Bernie knows that he has been unfairly treated. And he has been, again and again, including this misrepresentation by Wasserman-Schultz, that there was violence in Nevada.
Let's hear the truth!
Go Bernie! and don't put up with people who lie about you!
