Bernie Bros creating chaos & violence over parliamentary rules not being followed? No, it was the Democratic House in an uproar over parliamentary procedures not being followed. I wonder how many of them were afraid for their safety? I wonder how many of them will be trashed in the media and trashed by DWS? Hmmmm.

After it failed, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, appeared visibly angry and spoke on the floor, pointing out he never saw any Republicans come to the front of the chamber to change their votes. ... "I was standing in the well and no one came and no one had the courage to come into the well to change their vote, but notwithstanding that, the vote kept changing. Mr. Speaker, from a parliamentary perspective, how is that possible?" Hoyer said. ... According to an aide to Hoyer, Republicans kept the vote open so that lawmakers could change their vote from their seats without approaching the front of the chamber.
