Bernie is above reproach and when people listen to him they like what they hear. Non-Bernie supporters know this and as Bernie's record is so good know they can't attack him head on.

So what they do is start the meme that Bernie is supported by mean spirited, racist, misogynist, etc. people. They do this so people that may consider supporting Bernie will not want to be associated with his supporters and so they will stay away from supporting Bernie, not because of Bernie but because of his ill-mannered racist and misogynistic supporters.
