1. Or, she was a student at some time, and now she's a lobbyist ...

I mean ... how are you so sure who's 'correct' here? Just asking ... I have no idea.

Also, original screenshot has the interest of like 3 people.

3. ...

“It doesn’t matter where she works. She asked a question and she doesn’t deserve to be harassed and stalked because she did. I legitimately can not believe people are defending this!”

[Cha]

5. Sounds like some fans couldn't

handle BS getting tough questions so they're trying madly to make this about the questioner.

25. It's Trump tactics 101

Don't like the message? Attack the messenger.

[Cha]

36. I hope it Backfires!

[sheshe2]

52. Yep.

[betsuni]

54. Every time!

[Me.]

27. Quite Agree

The scattering is revealing

[Skinner]

12. She's still a student.

The google cache of her twitter account shows her as American University class of '20.

[still_one]

39. and she has been an intern there for only two months. Regardless, that is no excuse by some to doxx

her.

[Amimnoch]

46. So what? Even if she was a Republican plant

It doesn’t change that it IS a valid question, and IS a concern of many who are considering whome they will or won’t support.

Why’s he so afraid to answer??

[emulatorloo]

2. Targeted harassment and stalking.

I’ve seen some quibble that it isn’t technically Doxxing because her name was on TV.

Maybe so, but the harassment and stalking are inexcusable

[George II]

38. I saw that too, right here on this site. The fact that her name is known doesn't....

....immune her from "doxxing". They're still prying into her background, career, etc. THAT is "doxxing" even if some don't want to accept that.

[emulatorloo]

40. They were playing word-games, and as far as I am concerned were deflecting from and rationalizing

the abhorrent behavior.

[GoodTimes146]

4. I can't defend these actions

because not only are they grotesque, who cares. She is a legitimate citizen who will be voting. If thats what she wanted to ask, she had every right. And Bernie handled as best he could. I think it's a great idea to make sure all of their volunteers and campaign workers are trained on the issue and to have 3rd party outlets to report to if it happens. That's actually a great thing! It's an unfortunate issue with many campaigns and should be controlled more closely. I won't name names but it has happened in recent times to other camps.

Edit: I forgot to mention the first reason why I decided to write a response to this. We have to be careful about who we are interacting with because I've seen many reports now that there are active bots out there in the social media sphere working to divide democrats. We seen a big reference to this today when Jacob Wohl got kicked off the tweeter. He was banned for life for creating fake accounts for that exact reason. Just keep that in mind.

[still_one]

41. All your points are excellent ones.

[Gothmog]

6. Doxing this student is unforgiveable

[Trenzalore]

7. So they are picking up where they left off from the last campaign nt.

[we can do it]

49. You said it.

[yardwork]

8. Will Bernie show leadership and speak out about this?

[comradebillyboy]

16. Not in any meaningful way.

[forklift]

9. I am shaking my head in disbelief

What kind of people do this? It is shameful and drags Bernie down into the gutter.

All Bernie supporters I know are polite and decent people who would never do such a thing but I can't deny that there is a subset that is involved in untoward activities like these.

Bernie should come out and apologize to that poor woman. A few more incidents like these and his candidacy would be sunk by people who want him elected.

[LongtimeAZDem]

10. Remember when you said "If it really happened"?

This is the kind of thing we were talking about, and it looks like it may be starting again.

[forklift]

11. I hear you

This is not good and it really happened. I hope Bernie condemns this behavior or his campaign will be over in 2 states.

I support Bernie because I believe he is a man of high ideals and this is the time for him to shine by showing those high ideals. The small subset of his rowdy supporters should be reined in. It reflects poorly on the vast majority of his supporters who are decent.

[WeekiWater]

14. "All Bernie supporters I know are polite and decent people who would never do such a thing"

I cannot say "all" because I do know some that don't rise to the level of your statement. That said, your statement is overall correct. Myself and others need to condemn things like this without making blanket statements that encompass really good people.

[forklift]

18. Syntax Sir

All Bernie supporters "I KNOW" ... there may be uncouth Bernie supporters whom I don't know.

[WeekiWater]

19. I fully understood.

I was making just that distinction. I didn't want it appear that I was putting words in your mouth. There are no issues of "syntax".

[yardwork]

22. Exactly. A candidate must show leadership by setting an example.

Nobody can completely control how others behave, and we know there are bots, trolls, agents provocateurs, and bad actors everywhere.

Bernie can and must show leadership by setting clear examples for how his campaign will conduct itself. What are the core values of his campaign, now that he's declared that he's running for president?

[forklift]

28. Cannot disagree with you.

I think Bernie's popularity and acceptance will increase if he condemns the bad actors and tells them to stop these shenanigans.

I want Bernie to win and this will go a long way.

[ehrnst]

32. Ask Masha Mendieto about Bernie reaching out to extend

apologies.

[still_one]

42. This isn't on Bernie, this is on those who are doxxing her. Yes, probably someone in Bernie's

campaign probably should make him aware of what happened, and it would be nice if he expressed regrets that some people, who none of us have any idea who they are, would engage in those activities.

but I do not think he has anything to apologize for on this.

Unfortunately, those involved in this can hurt a candidate, and while some no doubt are Sanders supporters, some no doubt are trolls also.

There is an effort by certain elements to divide Democrats, we all need to be vigilant

[forklift]

43. Bernie will get blamed for it

He has to show leadership and let a few heads roll.

I am hopeful that he will take decisive action.

[still_one]

44. who are these anonymous people on twitter? What heads to roll. The only thing he can do is express

disappointment that some feel the need to this, and condemns it

There is nothing else he or anyone else in that situation can do

[LongtimeAZDem]

48. He might have been able to say that last time, but he knows about things like that now

He has started up again knowing what happened before. It's on him.

If he's concerned about dividing Democrats, he should stop attacking them and become one.

[MineralMan]

13. Sometimes, we are our own worst enemies.

Resorting to doxxing people who ask difficult questions of Democratic candidates is disgusting.

[Gothmog]

15. I agree with Tom Watson

Link to tweet

[ehrnst]

33. Well, that's interesting. (nt)

[Cha]

37. Too bad they can't handle questions about

BS' history. This isn't going to stop people from asking them. Only make them More determined.

[Blue_true]

50. Is that THE Tom Watson, or someone that has the same name? nt

[backabby-blue]

17. I'm not surprised in the slightest.

I was undecided in 2016 until I was attacked online for defending some of Hillary's policies. It made me turn 100% against my attackers candidate.

[Demsrule86]

20. This sort of stuff will hurt sen. Sanders chances in the primary.

[George II]

21. She shut down her accounts or changed her ID because she was being attacked for that question.

[yardwork]

23. Then more people must ask harder questions.

[LongtimeAZDem]

26. Starting with "why did you yell at the woman who asked you about sexual abuse in your campaign?",

Last edited Wed Feb 27, 2019, 08:59 PM - Edit history (1)

followed by, "what will you do to stop your followers from attacking people like her online?"

[George II]

45. Yes, that would be a good start.

[lunamagica]

29. Is Sanders so weak, so fragile that questioning him equals an attack?

[Initech]

30. If you see trolling or any suspicious behavior...

DO NOT HESITATE TO REPORT IT!!!! We must be vigilante in reporting trolling, hate and harassment on social media. It's just like at the airports - if you see something, say something.

[ehrnst]

31. How you can report @progBlacksmith for targeted harassment

https://twitter.com/ProgBlacksmith1 (they have a new account up, because the old one was suspended)

Click on the three dots to the right of the "Follow"

Click report@ProgBlacksmith1

Go through the following selections -
Their Tweets are abusive or hateful
Engaging in targeted harassment
Someone else
Done

The other account doing this is:

https://twitter.com/respecteconomy




If enough people do this, their accounts will be suspended by Twitter:

[R B Garr]

34. You are right--no excuse for this whatsoever. It's an embarrassment.

How embarrassing that Democrats are being hunted down because they dare to ask Sanders something not on script.

[ismnotwasm]

35. Creeps.

disgusting

[Maru Kitteh]

47. So any apology, admonition, leadership or even just a simple comment yet on this?

From Sanders?

[Blue_true]

51. None.

When the heat gets to hot, he will come out with a statement that he does not agree with what was done to the woman, but he can't control his supporters. You heard it before.

[MadDAsHell]

53. Doxxing is a regular practice on this site and nearly all political forums.

Are we really going to get on our high horse this particular time?

[betsuni]

55. They're ALL in on it: corporate media, people asking questions at events to ask questions.

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS EVERYWHERE AND IT HAS QUESTIONS.
