Don't mis attribute current senator-ship to her!

She's a great lady, though, I am sure that she will hold public office again.

Regarding the supposed "Threats" to Roberta Lange, we plan on asking questions seeking to get to the meat and potatoes of "What Happened in Vegas, as we watched the event foil all day on Social Media on Saturday.

was no rush to the stage, people came up to the barricades and yelled calling unfair, etc.. there were obscenities, but with a motion on the floor and Lange's actions at destroying Democracy, who can blame them. Anyone after making threats of physical harm, well shame on them. Threats to remove her from the Chair, that is a valid call.

They have spun serious election theft into an outrageous and very dishonest attack on Bernie supporters.

I finally realized WHY they have attacked us so dishonestly and blatantly this past year: they're trying not only to invalidate Bernie but to make voters not want to be part of his supporters -- because we're all such bad people.

I hope honest journalists will tell the truth about the 2016 Democratic primary. It has been a blight on U.S. politics.

there were rumors that Nina had returned with Bernie's Lawyers. I don't think that is correct based on what I watched and saw, but do not know. This would be a great question for her.

I never witnessed the Attorney's either. As for the calls to remove the Chair, that is valid per Roberts Rules of Order, if the Chair is not responding to valid motions on the floor. For what I saw, she was not. Likewise, calling the meeting to close with motions on the Floor is a violation of Robert's Rules completely -- which was done at the end of the meeting.

Roberta Lange let her emotions play beyond her role as the Chair. It appears she is trying to "save face" as a result and we plan on asking Senator Turner about this in particular.

If Lawyers were called into the Nevada Convention by either the Sanders Campaign and/or State Senator Turner, she confirmed during our interview no, they were not.

Great interview and feel free to listen into the archive file if you missed it here: http://j.mp/IURL51716

Also, we thank State Senator Turner for visiting Independent Underground Radio LIVE.
