Just saw a huge blatant lie on MSNBC

I'm at the gym and they had MSNBC on. at the bottom there was scrolling text saying "Clinton wins Kentucky, Sanders wins Oregon".

Then it said "Clinton is 100 delegates away from clinching the nomination".

I literally cursed out loud as the tv. what in the all f*c*?

Its like they WANT to elect Trump,
or believe they don't need Liberal Democrats, Independents, and Millennials to win this election.

Supporting the much weaker candidate against Trump is just plain stupid anyway,
but purposely attacking and taunting Sanders supporters at this point doesn't make ANY sense at all.

The local progressive radio show on WCPT, Wayne Besen, kept repeating she needs to just work to get the 98 delegates she needs and Sanders supporters need to stop whining.

Then the CBS news just said the same thing, 100 delegates and then had Boxer on saying how she feared for her safety against the red faced angry Sanders supports. Then the lying sack of shit DWS got on and said there was absolutely no wrong doing at the Nevada convention, that the rules they followed have been in place since 2014. Then they played a recording of someone calling (stating a Sanders supporter) making a threat, with the backdrop of violent tweets showing in the background.

The more they push this bullshit, the more resolute my husband and I become that we will never ever vote for Clinton.
