1. sanders dirty tricks dept, russian bots or both

[FarPoint]

15. Bingo!!!(

Absolutely on target....

[Hortensis]

32. Of course. SOP. A message that never gets old for those

addicted to outrage and eager for lies to keep it stoked.

[Johnny2X2X]

2. I knew she wouldn't do that!

Russian and GOP trolls trying to sow the seeds of discontent in the party that's going to defeat Trump.

We will unite the party! Bernie fans are smarter than this, they know what's on the line and will be a part of taking our country back from the jaws of fascism.

[mountain grammy]

5. Yes thank you. Let's remember that always.

[C_U_L8R]

12. I don't know if it's Russians

We heard the same stuff from the Sanders campaign last election. And continue to hear it out of their own mouths and tweets today. It seems to be an unfortunate yet defining characteristic. I know there are many smart decent Sanders supporters and teammates who would never stoop to this. But the few that do have loud voices and garner the most attention because it seems they're never actually told to stop.

[DENVERPOPS]

45. Good Call CU

There are a lot of baby snakes in the grass out there.........

Bernie out there, sniping at others, is not helping the situation, especially his..........

[leftieNanner]

51. But the hard core Bernie supporters have no problem sharing Russian BS

This happened in 2016 too. A young man that I knew very casually (from the church choir, believe it or not!) was a big time Bernie supporter and he posted all kinds of absurd stuff about "Killery" on FB that was clearly generated by Russian bots. I'm not on FB any more, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing the same raging this time.

[The Polack MSgt]

16. That tweet is from Shaun King's verified account

He is a prominent spokesman for Sen. Sanders and has been since 2015.

To call him a Republican operative or a Russian bot is misguided at best.

People who accuse Bernie supporters of being GOP or RU Bots are not usually welcome in DU.

For good reason

Mr. King is furthering Sen. Sanders campaign's interests in a manner that he believes to be beneficial to those interests.

Politics Johnny, politics

[Johnny2X2X]

23. No, but he's repeating lies probably generated by one

It's not just politics to spread a blatant falsehood like this, and I hope Rachel makes an example out of it on her show tonight.

[The Polack MSgt]

31. As I recall "Are Democratic Party officials interfering with the primaries to Stop Sanders"

Was posed as a QUESTION on the Maddow show, as a tease going in to commercial.

So yeah, I agree that Mr. King is being deliberately misleading.

But my point was that he is not parroting RU/GOP talking points, he is mischaracterizing a segment of Rachel's show.

And he is doing that to support the spin from the Sanders campaign that there are dark underhanded conspiracies aligned against Senator Sanders

[Scoopster]

52. You're right.

Shaun King is just a plain jane lying asshole, not a GOP/Russian plant.

[mopinko]

56. they may not be welcome, but they arent lying. or crazy. they exist.

and i think you are wrong, anyway. a couple months ago, that was true.
but it is an accepted fact these days. '
which is the funny thing that happens when shit turns out to be true.

[ehrnst]

22. You're saying that Shaun King is a "Russian / GOP Troll"????

[Maggiemayhem]

33. We need to find out where King got his info

[ehrnst]

37. Well, he could have confirmed by watching the recording of the show online...

That would have been simple to have confirmed it before swallowing it whole, perhaps because of confirmation bias, and avoided this.

But it appears that he wanted to believe she said this, and that was more important to him.

[Cha]

3. Good! So glad she busted him!

[DENVERPOPS]

47. Rachel and Nance are my heroes.......N//c

[Cha]

49. ..

[ehrnst]

58. That's what she does best - goes after the misinformation.

[Cha]

59. There's so much out there.. Rachel's

work is never done.

[marble falls]

4. Where's the 'pissed' part?

[zackymilly]

29. Maybe she got drunk afterwards. n/t

[LakeArenal]

6. Unite. Unite. Unite.

Now when we do behind Joe, they get all pissed.

I always thought Joe’s base is underestimated and Bernie’s “rise” was all social media.

[DENVERPOPS]

48. I think we all need to realize

that the Republican owned media needs to make this into a horse race to stimulate viewership and their profits......

And that there are countless people who want their 20 minutes of fame, despite the damage done to another person or damage done to our Democracy.

Good God Almighty, the TrumpHumpers have 50 million of them out there, banging away night and day, revealing their un-believeable political ignorance.......(or actually their ignorance on almost everything, for that matter) Pretty pathetic......

[ehrnst]

7. Misinformation? It was unwise thinking Maddow would go along...

[getagrip_already]

8. she is right to be pissed....

She never said what he said she said. People within the party is not the same as party leaders. I'm in the party, and I wanted him out. But I certainly don't speak for the party.

Lying liars gotta lie.

[MerryBlooms]

9. Oops. That may have earned him an invite on her show.

[NYMinute]

10. The dirty trick machine headed by David Sirota has statrted.

[DownriverDem]

11. No matter what

Folks need to stop thinking folks are dragging voters to the polls to vote for Biden. Hello? They want to beat trump and not take a risky chance. Biden running with a strong progressive Dem woman will make a lot of folks happy. Winning in November is all that matters. Folks need to chill. Young folks are poised to take over the Dem Party before you know it. Boomer votes will still be needed, but young folks will be in control of the Dem Party. Too bad they don't know this and think attacking the voters they will need is the way to go. BTW Rachel is the best!

[Eyeball_Kid]

21. A strong progressive woman? Would that be Harris? Warren?

Assuming that Biden gets the nomination (which isn't a dead-on certainty), either Senator would be appropriate. But that means that the Dems would have to immediately replace the VP with another Senate Dem, since it's best to win the Senate as well as the WH.

[William769]

13. What a fucking prick!

He even posts the video that shows he lied. That's par for the course of his kind.

[we can do it]

14. Another great move by the divisive BS Bunch.

[beachbumbob]

17. we won't be fooled again. I wonder how mach dark money is invovled in sanders campaign??

with outside Superpacs?

the intent is to reelect trump. Not gonna work. We need to explode the voter participation numbers thru out the rest of primaries and do the same in Nov like we did in 2018

[we can do it]

18. Dark money, Russian bots and drump all pulling for BS.

[GemDigger]

20. I don't know about super pacs but Bernie and his donations are being looked into.

[Dem2]

19. I saw the segment

That was the question asked IIRC.

The answer was nothing like the claim. I knew this was wrong the minute I saw the post.

[PatSeg]

24. Is Karl Rove advising the Sanders campaign?

[OnDoutside]

25. That would be to give them too much credit.

[33taw]

26. I hate twitter.

[Thekaspervote]

41. Oh believe me.. Shaun was taken to task on twitter as well!!

[Nikki28]

27. I knew

something was odd when this was posted. I just can't see Rachael doing this.Glad she clarified.

[LovingA2andMI]

28. Full Context....

This is what she was responding too....

Link to tweet

And Shaun King is and been a liar.

[hangaleft]

55. She responded to it also?

[uponit7771]

30. Shaun King is officially an asshole

[Mme. Defarge]

34. Good to know!

Saw it last night and found it disturbing.

Thank you, Rachel! ❤️

[Sloumeau]

35. Is Shaun King a Russian Troll or a Russian Bot? :) nt

[in2herbs]

36. RM has earned a place in the next D administration. She's smart enuf to be SOS. nt

[subana]

38. that's typical!!

when Bernie loses, it always has to be someone else's fault, not theirs! At least Rachel didn't let them get away with it this time.

[Thekaspervote]

39. Typical Shaun King bullshit!!

[Mr.Bill]

40. I hope Rachel

leads her show with this tonight.

[grantcart]

42. Well the voices in his head sounded like Maddow.

[MontanaMama]

43. When you're making shit up

you’re losing. The Sanders campaign did the same crap back in 2016. It smells desperate.

[3Hotdogs]

44. --- or maybe from Roger Stone and his dirty tricks.

He ain't in jail. yet.

[BigOleDummy]

46. Its things like this

that make me question Mr. Sanders about just about everything. I mean, does he endorse lying as long as its for his benefit? I love his message/policies BUT if this is the kind of people he attracts can we really trust him to pick the right people if he wins? I mean..... if he can't control the messaging from his OWN campaign can he be trusted to control the reins of government? We already have a out of control government with our current W.H. occupant are we prepared for more of the same? Sadly Mr.Sanders is crippling his own image and campaign with things like this. And YES, Mr. Sanders does need to be held accountable for his supporters imo. But what do we hear? Crickets.

[C Moon]

50. It worked for them in 2016, but we are all aware of Putin's tricks now.

[underthematrix]

53. My feedback to Shaun King

Link to tweet

[mcar]

54. Why does anyone take Shaun King seriously?

[Gothmog]

57. Shaun King lied and was callled out for this lie

King is just as bad as Sirota
