138. Hello again. Tapper asked an exact question and Bernie answered said question.

Oct 2018

This will be the answer I will give you every time I see you post to me on this subject

Tapper asked him two questions. The one in the OP's tweet was an answer to a SPECIFIC question on Republicans being protested or disrupted at dinner or banging on doors of the SC court
and his answer was "I am not a great fan of being rude or disrupting activities."... And he went on to praise protesting. Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats agree with him on not being a fan of protesting Republicans while they dine out. They seem to think it's rude also

Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=MSHTPrCAByw it's a short video. Eight minutes 10 seconds that are proof of what he said.

Link to other Democrats who are not fans of Republicans being protested while dining out.
