1. The stupidity is that it's going to attract new attention to Sanders

proposed ending of private healthcare.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. How were they attacked? On social media?

If so, are they aware of disfino campaigns and bots?

3. These bots

Also called the union hq. I assume that their Russian accents were hidden....

[Dennis Donovan]

4. Were those who called spurred on by the online bots?

We're in the middle of an active disinfo campaign, so these questions need to be asked.

7. It is unfortunate how much information is simply taken at face value

Here's a sequence:

1. Some private person is thrust into the news spotlight for one reason or another.

2. That person receives unwanted and disturbing communications, such as death threats.

3. Those communications are used to prove some political point or other.

The fact of the matter is that the context doesn't even matter. If, for some reason, you as a private person are thrust into the spotlight of current events for one reason or another, you are going to get the attention of weirdos, freaks and psychopaths who don't actually have a coherent "agenda" of any kind.

There are people who simply live to inflame things. It's what they do.

I guarantee you that out of the pool of psychopaths, there are left wingers, right wingers, apple pie eaters, mustache wearers, people who don't wear socks, people who do wear socks, Republicans, Democrats, and people named "Dave". It simply doesn't matter.

There are 320 million people in this country, and if only 1% of them are criminally insane, that's 3.2 million of them running around.

9. Given that the third column is identical all the way down...

...they could have shortened it to two columns, or even one column in view of the minimal distinction in column 2.

11. That handout is very revealing!

Doesn't look too good for Sanders.

6. I had to check their claim they beat Chump.

They did !

10. Not the first time they tried to intimidate Culinary. 2016: Sanders staffers posed as union members

Campaign staffers for Sen. Bernie Sanders donned union pins to gain access to worker dining rooms in Las Vegas, the powerful Culinary Workers union said Thursday.

“We can confirm multiple reports of Bernie Sanders’ campaign staffers attempting and gaining access to employee dining rooms at Las Vegas Strip properties where over 57,000 members that we represent work,” said Geoconda Arguello-Kline, Culinary Workers Union Local 226 secretary-treasurer.

Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver confirmed the action and offered an apology.
