(975 posts)When they demanded he "come over to be held accountable" he was supposed to go along with that? And who in the hell would say that to someone who's done nothing wrong? And what exactly is he to be held accountable for? Being white?
Nobody in their right mind would accept being talked to and treated like that. No one. Not even a Presidential candidate. They sure as hell wouldn't engage people who had no intention of an honest debate to begin with. If they had honest intentions, after they spoke and had a moment of silence, they would have given the mic back to BS and waited to be addressed. They didn't. They took over the podium and demand he basically #bowdownbernie. That's bullshit.
They should be lucky the event organizer didn't have them arrested (BS wouldn't have allowed that though). That's probably what they hoped for though so BS handled it perfectly. Defending their actions is fine, but don't try to pretend BS or anyone should have submitted to that belittling bullshit those two tried yesterday.
