As the fallout from last weekends Nevada Democratic convention spreads, sharply critical pieces about the White House hopeful and his campaign have appeared in progressive outlets such as Mother Jones, Talking Points Memo and Daily Kos within the past 48 hours.
The Sanders campaign has also taken hits from progressive CNN contributor Sally Kohn, who endorsed the Vermont senator from the stage at a massive rally in New York City just before the Empire States April primary.
Kohn wrote an article published Wednesday for Time magazine that was headlined, I felt the Bern but the Bros are extinguishing the flames.

As they should. It's one thing to have out of control supporters, but not to denounce them, really?
