Warren gets involved in the NV M4A Culinary Union harassment situation

And asks for people to stop harassing the union. Of course, it does not go well with Sanders supporters. Warren is again being called a snake, fake progressive and worse.

Elizabeth Warren
@ewarren
No one should attack
@Culinary226
and its members for fighting hard for themselves and their families. Like them, I want to see every American get high-quality and affordable health care—and I’m committed to working with them to achieve that goal.

Some of them are unintentionally funny. One user's name includes "purity test enthusiast". Truth in advertising.

Actually, a lot of them are unintentionally funny in a twisted sort of way. It's kind of amazing how much some of these people tie themselves in knots to defend the indefensible harassment. And they have no clue how silly they look.

It seems that they sit around waiting for opportunities to pounce. Then, they wonder why stereotypes like "Bernie Bros" arise and persist.

They also seem pretty organized. Lots of comments with the same talking points and hashtags. They're obviously getting them from somewhere. Hmm.

A bunch are devoted to Bernie. But if you are a Republican ratfucker, you pretend to be a Bernie supporter and do whatever you can to destroy all other Democrats. That is Republican Ratfucking 101. It's what they do.

supporter. All Bernie fans should try to keep this in minds. His campaign is probably the inflection pointfor Republican ratfucking, because his base is really committed. Sorta like the Nader campaign. Lots of real Nader fans were co-opted by a lot of Republican ratfuckers.
