27. Hillary who only does scripted events has the most to profit from a shutdown of Bernie events

Sun Aug 9, 2015, 10:41 AM

Aug 2015

and since BLM has not done the same thing at Republican events, I can understand why Bernie supporters feel that BLM is Hillary's "brownshirts".

I don't think Hillary ordered or made a deal with BLM or some of their so called leaders to attack Bernie. I think some of her "Lee Atwater" type surrogates have.
