"he expressed shock that his people would do it..."

CNN:

BOXER: -- I did call Bernie a couple of times and he did phone me back last night and he was --

BOLDUAN: So he called you back.

BOXER: -- he was very distressed about it. And it was a very warm conversation. And I told him -- he expressed shock that his people would do it. I did tell him the vast majority of those Bernie supporters were sitting in their chairs. They were fine. But there was this group of 50 to 100 people. They were not young people, they were older people and that he ought to check out to see who these people are.

Has he been totally unaware of the comments his supporters have left on the FB pages/websites of people like John Lewis, among others? Their vile remarks have been written about for months now, and have been the topic of discussion on hundreds of political websites.

Is he totally in the dark about the threats made to the SDs, the threats made to Democrats who endorsed HRC - even threats against their families - the harassment of business people who have any connection to HRC endorsers?

"Expressing shock" about what happened in Nevada can only mean one of two things: Bernie is either feigning ignorance, or he IS ignorant about what's been going on under his own nose. Either way, that doesn't spell leadership, and negates any idea that he has the ability to be POTUS.
