I've been beaten up in the streets of Philadelphia and held up at gunpoint in Brooklyn... when I WASN'T campaigning. I've never been harassed in any way while campaigning. Scaring peopke to stay indoors would never have made an effective civil rights movement and it won't help with these fascists. All hands on deck Democrats! To the streets brothers and sisters!

SERIOUSLY.
