30. Is This the Chair, to which you are Referring?

Sun Jul 24, 2016, 09:33 AM

Jul 2016

Excerpt:

After 126,000 Democratic voters were purged off the voter rolls in Sanders’ hometown of Brooklyn; and recklessly went on national television to condemn “violent” supporters of Sanders in Nevada for tossing non-existent chairs at the State Convention.

For good measure, she criticized Sanders’ statement on the matter, saying he didn’t go far enough in condemning his supporters’ “violence” and had the audacity to include the word BUT in his statement.

Only problem—there was no documented violence at the convention. As I wrote previously, no video evidence ever existed of such a thing—in journalism, kind of a key element to confirm such a violent act occurred.
