Bernie's Campaign Manager Says Donald Trump 'Speaks the Truth' When He Attacks Hillary
Jeff Weaver's not so great at that whole spokesman thing.
TOMMY CHRISTOPHER 17 HOURS AGO

Jeff Weaver had a really weird way of defending Bernie Sanders over the charge that Donald Trump is using Bernie's attack lines against Hillary: they're true!

New Video of Nevada Dem Convention Shows Someone May Have Been Hit By Chair

New Video of Nevada Dem Convention Shows Someone May Have Been Hit By Chair
Bernie Sanders says "nobody was touched." Not so fast.
TOMMY CHRISTOPHER 2 HOURS AGO

Apparently, the fact that they clearly acted like assholes and scared the shit out of Nevada State Democratic officials isn't enough for some Bernie Sanders supporters, who have become really fixated on proving nobody actually threw chairs. Bernie Sanders himself has gotten in on the act, telling George Stephanopoulos that no chairs were thrown, and that his supporters were just "rude" and "boorish," as well as another claim that new video evidence disproves:

It’s Now Harder to Vote in Virginia Because the Supreme Court Gutted the Voting Rights Act

It’s Now Harder to Vote in Virginia Because the Supreme Court Gutted the Voting Rights Act
200,000 registered voters could be blocked from the polls after a federal court upheld Virginia’s voter ID law.
By Ari BermanTwitterTODAY 10:46 AM

Josephine Okiakpe, a 69-year-old African-American woman, grew up in a small town in North Carolina in the Jim Crow South. She attended segregated schools, where black students only received textbooks after white students were done with them.

After Okiakpe moved to Virginia, she brought her birth certificate, Social Security card, voter registration card and bank statement to the polls with her, but was unable to vote under the state’s strict voter ID law, which required a government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot. The only photo IDs she had were a North Carolina driver’s license and an expired Virginia DMV card, neither of which were accepted.

As she argued with poll workers, other voters in line snickered at Okiakpe. “I felt very frustrated, very upset,” she told a federal court, the Associated Press reported. Okiakpe wept as she told the story.

She was ultimately given a provisional ballot, which was only counted after Okiakpe obtained a valid voter ID in Manassas days after the election.

On Thursday, federal district court judge Henry Hudson upheld Virginia’s voter ID law, despite hearing many stories like Okiakpe’s of voters burdened by the law. Hudson, a George W. Bush appointee once known as “Hang ‘Em High Henry” for his tough on crime record, was also the first judge to rule against Obamacare. His decision will make it harder for the 200,000 Virginia voters without a driver’s license to cast a ballot.

Bernie Sanders Is Hurting Himself by Playing the Victim

Bernie Sanders Is Hurting Himself by Playing the Victim
The Vermont senator could turn from movement leader into the messiah of an angry white male cult with his claims of a “rigged” nomination process.
By Joan WalshTwitterYESTERDAY 1:36 PM

It’s been five days since the conflagration at the Nevada State Democratic Convention, and the embers are still burning. Much of it has singed Senator Bernie Sanders. The intimidation of speakers and the misogynist death threats against party chair Roberta Lange have led to a wave of critical pieces by Bernie supporters—some of them now former Bernie supporters. Sanders’s loyal CNN backer Sally Kohn wrote in Time: “I Felt the Bern But the Bros Are Extinguishing the Flames.” Esquire’s Charles Pierce, who voted for Sanders, weighed in Tuesday: “It’s Time for Bernie’s People to Calm Down.” Sanders supporter Harold Meyerson now insists, “The Bros Are Undermining Bernie.”

In the pages of the Sanders fanzine Salon (for which I used to work), at least two Bernie supporters have written that it’s over: For them, the mayhem in Las Vegas has doused the burn. Even on Sanders-friendly Reddit, former Berners were leaving the fold. Much of the media has reacted with shock to the Nevada chaos, and Sanders surrogates have faced tougher grilling on cable news than they have for the entire campaign.

But the Sanders camp is defiant, with the senator himself condemning the threats and reports of violence, but—and you never add “but” to a sentence that’s condemning threatening behavior—insisting party leaders had it coming, because convention rules were less than fair or “transparent.” Sanders has continued to rip the Democratic Party for unfairness, and his supporters are now telling reporters there will be trouble at the convention in Philadelphia over the “rigged” primary process.

As expected, Democrats dominate, in particular Hillary Clinton, who looks like the likely winner of the June 5 contest. Registered voters were asked during March and April, that if they had a vote, which of the then-candidates for the US presidency would they prefer.
