(20,453 posts)12. After blowing kisses...
The fact that she stands up at the podium, gives a "message" speech from Bernie and Hillary, she says, gets boo'd, then as she leaves flanked by LV's finest, she give a big ole "fuck you" salute after appearing to "blow kisses".

(28,876 posts)6. I don't usually flip off people I'm fearful of.
And I suspect Boxer doesn't either.
Shame on her.

(8,541 posts)7. The optics just reek of smugness.
One of the things I admire most about Bernie is from what I've seen. He's the same on and off camera day in and day out.

(1,258 posts)8. Tyt call her on it with the video showing her egging the crowd on a flipping the bird?
I would hope TYT at least would be honest.

(9,385 posts)9. She should be ashamed of herself.
Apparently she doesn't have enough of a conscience to do that.
NWCorona
(8,541 posts)10. She got caught up in the moment.
Unfortunately that gave us a window into her true self.
Even though Boxer was team Bernie is still admired her. She's done a lot of good! I just hope Barbara has a good explanation.
