hence the crowd wasn't necessarily Bernie Sanders supporters. This was a rally created by various organizations who wanted to recognize Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. You cannot conflate the two separate entities here. Bernie was just a guest. So was a BLM representative who spoke to the crowd before Bernie. Using your logic, all of those in the crowd were BLM supporters.
