One candidate, and only one candidate, has supporters who consistently behave in this way. They are still misnaming the first viable LGBT candidate who ever ran for President. That is OK with Sanders. They are posting outright lies about Pete, OK with Sanders. It is all OK with Sanders. All of it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
