Bernie, There Will Be No Revolution Without Reproductive Rights

[Rilgin]

78. Take your quotes off.

You added quotes to the term "rising star". Bernie did not say that. Further, this is a reporter saying what the Reporter wanted to say Bernie said rather than a quote. I looked at the original article and nowhere is there a quote from Bernie Sanders himself saying "rising star" nor future star not any quotes whatsoever from what Bernie said or when or where.

In the article itself, you see direct bias on the reporters side. It is the reporters view that the Unity Tour went to Omaha to "rally for a mayoral candidate". Forgive me but I thought the Unity Tour was visiting a number of red and blue states to promote unity amongst 2 wings of the democratic party. One of the stops scheduled was Omaha. I have no idea why or when it was scheduled nor do you nor does the reporter. If scheduled as one of the stops, I would find it pretty strange if the democratic mayoral candidate for that city did not attend. However, this is a far cry from making the purpose of this unity stop to campaign for a single candidate.

With regard to the concept of endorsement, you see the same inflation in analyzing a single interview of Bernie posted over and over where he said he did not agree with Mello but hoped as a Democratic candidate Mello would win and that only through more democratic victories would we be able to protect reproductive freedoms. DU attackers have equated that with Bernie being a full throated endorser of this guy as though he has supported him for years, supported him and campaigned with him against another democrat who was pro-choice rather than against a republican and dedicated weeks of his life to traveling around Omaha to campaign with him rather than share a stage on the Unity Tour and express a desire that the democratic candidate wins against a republican even though he disagrees with him on some issues.

Coincidentally, I basically heard Bernie's statement repeated by Nancy Pelosi today on one of the talk shows where she said there are pro-life democrats and she serves with them and supports them as democrats. I support and vote for Nancy and think in many areas she gets a raw deal. More importantly, have seen this tolerance of Democrats with pro-life tendencies from a variety of influential democrats including Hillary who selected Tim Kaine as her Vice Presidential running mate even though in 2016 he reiterated his support for the Hyde Amendment (promptly walked back to personal support but would follow Hillary's policy choice). This leaves the question open to whether if Kaine became president because something happened to Hillary would he be against the Hyde Amendment.

For your part, you might take the quotes off and be less certain as to what he said that gave rise to one reporter's version. Without a direct quote of Sanders himself, your post is a lie as to attributing a quoted line to Sanders. Take your quotes off and then just say you dont like Bernie because he ran against Hillary. That is the real truth. Before he ran, I suspect (without trying to quoting anyone) very few people would attack Bernie as not supporting reproductive freedoms.
