Reid urges Sanders to condemn violence in Nevada [View all]

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) had a 10-minute conversation with presidential contender Bernie Sanders Tuesday to discuss the violent outbursts by his supporters at the state party convention in Nevada over the weekend.

Reid made sure that Sanders was aware of just how ugly things got — including incidents of chair throwing — and expects his colleague will condemn the violence soon.

“He and I had a very long conversation,” Reid told reporters. “I laid out to him what happened in Las Vegas. I wanted to make sure he understands what went on there, the violence and all the other bad things that have happened there.

“He said that he condemns that. I’m confident he does. I’m confident he’ll be saying something about it soon,” added the Senate leader, who endorsed Hillary Clinton for president after she won the Nevada caucuses in February. “I’m hopeful and very confident that Sen. Sanders will do the right thing.”

Harry Reid seems to think he was able to talk some sense into Bernie. Hopefully he's right, and Sanders will condemn the actions of his delegates, and apologize for that delusional press release he put out.
