The Bernie Bros are out in full force harassing female reporters

If there is a trophy for bad behavior, Bernie Sanders's supporters appear hellbent on taking it from Donald Trump's.

The latest ugly episode involves threatening phone calls to New York Times reporter Amy Chozick and at least one harassing, profanity-laced message directed at NPR's Tamara Keith on Tuesday.

This comes two weeks after Daily Beast columnist and WNYC radio host Keli Goff chronicled some of the racist mail she receives from Sanders backers. Here at The Fix, our own Janell Ross has written about her experience with racist, sexist messages from so-called "Bernie Bros."

Shouldn't a recurring issue be reported? There seems to be a pattern here. (Insert obligatory some not all)

I have little doubt that if some-not-all HRC supporters were behaving this way, the Sanders supporters would be posting about it at the very least.

Were there any chairs, and did Bernie request fewer polling places? Seems to me like even though Hillary "won," she has to discredit what Sanders stood for and by assiciation, what he stood for - progressive policies. Let's see whether she take another right turn.

Give it a rest already.

You're supposed to be celebrating.

You've got a long summer ahead of you.

Save this kind of crap for when it really counts.
