Why does so much of this outrageous behavior come from the Sanders' camp? I'm tired of pussy-footing around and hearing lame excuses for heartless, obnoxious reactions from the Berners. In any other scenario, we'd reject this sort of thing as sociopathic and completely unacceptable.

It's time to call this nonsense out without couching the disapproval or accepting the excuses. It's a disgrace and it marks the Sanders' campaign as out of control, reminiscent of the Trump cult.

If these comments get flagged? So be it!

I had never heard of it before now. I suppose some others have heard of it. It appears to be a virtual Bernie Sanders house organ.

I don't think I like Beth Lynch. After reading several of her articles, I'm sure I don't.

I get this kind of vibe from a lot of Sanders supporters but I really truly don't get that vibe from Sanders himself. I wish he would disavow this over and over and over, every hour of every day, until it stops. All it is doing is hurting him. It's not helping him.

I don't get that from Sanders either. I think he created a movement that was more than he had expected and it took on a life of its own, kind of like Frankenstein's monster. He certainly should show leadership and repeatedly disavow the behavior, but he often seems to have his blinders on. I think he got swept up in his own success. Those huge cheering crowds can do that to a person.
