CNN News is reporting on the Tlaib booing at Bernie's Iowa rally - says it is going viral. Just saw

[Skya Rhen]

the reporting on TV...

[Cha]

1. They seemed awfully proud of themselves.

[denem]

2. Yes. How witty.

Very funny. Ha, ha, ha.

No one who remembers the last GE is laughing too much.

[Cha]

32. So clever.

[still_one]

3. One has to wonder what these people are thinking. They are effectively booing Hillary supporters,

a very stupid and self-destructive maneuver

The hiring of David Sirota, Brianna Joy Gray, Nina Turner tells you exactly where they are coming from

This is not how a campaign unites Democrats, and move them to your side

[Lonestarblue]

18. Sanders' choice of campaign staff is one reason I do not favor him.

They are scorched-earth proponents and I believe are major reasons why many Bernie supporters refused to back Hillary. This group is worrisome because if Sanders is not the nominee, I worry that they will once again not support whoever is the nominee and thus help throw the election to Trump just as they did in 2016.

[still_one]

20. I have the same concerns

[NecklyTyler]

4. Oh look - a mole hill!

[still_one]

23. Obviously Representative Talib realized this was not a good thing, and apologized

[NoMoreRepugs]

26. Sorry - David Sirota, Brianna Joy Gray and Nina Turner

on ones staff make it more of a mountain for some of us.

[Vogon_Glory]

5. Maybe they'll think of something equally clever before the next set of primaries

And impress the rest of us with their political savvy

[ritapria]

6. Did they report there were over 2500 people in attendance ?

That is the real story ....Talib isn't running for President …… No person is going to hold Bernie responsible for what Talib said …….Th chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party was surprised at the size of the crowd Bernie drew at a rally in Sioux City last Sunday night ...She was amazed at the energy of the crowd and admitted she recognized only 2 or 3 people in attendance ...Bernie is bringing in lots of new voters who will show up on Caucus Night just 2 days from now ….. PS ..….. The Democrat who ran against Steve King was at that Sioux City rally as well ….He did not recognize many people as well ….But many people went up to him and told him they had voted for him in November 2018 ………...Forget the Iowa polls of "likely voters" ..He is expanding the Iowa electorate

[George II]

11. And here we go again, "no one is going to hold Bernie responsible...etc." ...

...She's from Detroit, but she's in Iowa campaigning for HIM! Most likely his campaign paid for her travel and lodging and food. HE IS RESPONSIBLE! If not for last night, then for her actions in the future. She should be removed, just like many others in his campaign should be.

Of course she didn't recognize many people - it was a rally 700 miles from where she lives. How many people does anyone recognize 700 miles from home?

There's always an reason why he should be held responsible. If he can't control people he chooses to represent him, how can he control the entire federal government?

[quickesst]

12. Jeebus....

"No person is going to hold Bernie responsible for what Talib said ……."

Uuhhh....


😐

[Squinch]

13. If he doesn't denounce it today, I hold BS responsible for what Tlaib said.

He should have done it while it was happening, but I suppose that's too much to ask.

Jesus. Even McCain managed to do that.

[oldsoftie]

14. But Trump is held accountable for what HIS backers say. Double standard?

Yes

[MyNameGoesHere]

21. Things you'll never hear from the

Independent Senator from Vermont for $1000 Alex?

I condemn MS. Tblaib for her divisive and hurtful comments.

[Iliyah]

8. That is not a positive op . . . .

[BannonsLiver]

27. I like it.

So it’s positive for me.

[QualTest]

9. So?

Last I looked she wasn't running for anything these days.
She's old news, not relevant to current events.

She, and plenty of others love throwing shade on Bernie who
IS running.

That is a story. Ds would rather pee on Bernie than Trump!
Not that a surrogate said a bad about someone who is not
any longer relevant...

[George II]

15. Would you say the same if they booed Jimmy Carter? He's not running for anything....

Is he "old news"?

"Ds would rather pee on Bernie than Trump"? How about "Ds" peeing on one of the most respected women in the WORLD?

And you close with claiming Hillary Clinton "is not any longer relevant"? Unbelievable.

[brutus smith]

19. Jimmy Carter is not disparaging other Dems.

She did not have to say what she did, period! Other than trying to make herself relevant again, what purpose did it serve?

[ehrnst]

33. Answering a question, and revealing something that she could have revealed

years ago but didn't.

It's not like she called him "unqualified."



But can you tell me where all those colleagues of Sanders are that are rushing to say how wrong she is, if what she said wasn't true?

[madaboutharry]

25. She is running for re-election to her congressional seat.

[getagrip_already]

10. Intentional and part of the campaign plan....

Another page straight out of trumps play book. Intimidate and taunt anyone who criticizes you. Spin lies and orchestrate their repetition.

When will the lock joe up chants start I wonder?

[wprice2]

17. You are so correct

My democrat brothers and sisters will do the bidding of Republicans and turn on each other in a split second. This is how you lose another general election.
Criticize so called "moderate" democrats and get Trump for four more years and more extreme conservative judges!
Where is the rally for Gil Stein this year-can't wait for that!!!

[UniteFightBack]

16. What the hell happened? ?nt

[Fiendish Thingy]

22. An inappropriate response to HRC's inappropriate comments

Context is everything.

We’ll see what, if any, impact this has in a couple of days. If Bernie wins IA, this will be forgotten by the next news cycle. (Oh, I know some will NEVER forget, but I mean the general population)

[still_one]

24. Since she has just come out apologizing for it, it will fade into the background

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287461659

[bluedye33139]

29. I've been groaning and muttering with every new statement from Clinton

I supported her in the primary four years ago and I voted for her in the general and I am sick of the latest comments. Going after Sanders is pointless. Ugh.

I wasn't really angry at Tlaib, although I think it is poor strategy and bad optics.

[Bananaluver]

28. Sanders campaign manager... Faiz Shakir. You're all good.

Faiz
✔
@fshakir
Rashida, you’re all good. We love your passion and conviction. Don’t change

Link to tweet

…

Not only was it a bad apology, Sanders campaign manager gave her the thumbs up after her accusatory, blaming non apology.

[Bananaluver]

31. Here is the thing. HRC was gloves off in 2016. Today, Sanders is doing the same thing he did then.

Sanders people prove it out by boo'ing HRC on stage, now. And the non apology. And Sanders campaign manager giving Tlaib the thumbs up.

HRC is not gloves off, nor should she be. Sanders does not get to get away with this, again, untouched, in our second Democratic primary.
