“I don't know how or why it happened, but I am king of an army of internet trolls called Bernie Bros,” Sanders said. “Could I stop them in their tracks? Of course. Should I? Yes. Will I? Eh. Hillary Clinton says nobody likes me. Let me ask you this, then how come I'm the most popular guy on 4Chan?”

Never!! Thekaspervote Feb 2020 #105

That was so low class and downright embarrassing Walleye Feb 2020 #110

What's the '88' stand for, Jesse? Cirque du So-What Feb 2020 #84

Good catch LongtimeAZDem Feb 2020 #89

Absolutely. What is life without fluidity. krissey Feb 2020 #176

Saturday Night Live did a 'joke' about this tonight. The most cutting joke of the open.nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #5

Can you tell it for those who didn't see it? Cha Feb 2020 #13

Well I can't do it justice but it was about his army of online trolls and that he knows about it but UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #23

But it's reality and I'm Cha Feb 2020 #27

There was also a joke about private jets. N/T lapucelle Feb 2020 #118

Anyone think these Bernie 'supporters' really AREN'T, elleng Feb 2020 #12

Framing him? Guess it went on in 2016, too. He oughtta find a way to stop being infiltrated by emmaverybo Feb 2020 #21

We ALL oughtta find a way to stop being infiltrated by elleng Feb 2020 #26

What other candidates' followers do this collectively, as a group? I know Trump's do, but anyone emmaverybo Feb 2020 #44

Trump's do. elleng Feb 2020 #49

Nailed it. I didn't want to say it. Maybe Bernie feels he shouldn't intervene, play the authority, emmaverybo Feb 2020 #68

There's no "framing" going on. Cha Feb 2020 #30

Acording to the tweets, the chants were coordinated and led by Sanders organizers. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #31

Just like the booing of JOHN Lewis and Elijah Cummings was planned Gothmog Feb 2020 #43

Kind of meh, really...They started the chant after Pete took a shot at the "revolution" BeyondGeography Feb 2020 #16

If you have to qualify their bad behavior with "for a Bernie crowd" that just confirms the problem. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #36

Snap! Cha Feb 2020 #40

Pete got in their face a little and they returned the favor BeyondGeography Feb 2020 #47

I can't watch the clip. I am severely hearing impaired, and the CC on the video doesn't work. nt tblue37 Feb 2020 #70

What would be your defense of their laughing at Biden's stutter? That he asked for it by stuttering? highplainsdem Feb 2020 #58

Not here to defend them BeyondGeography Feb 2020 #61

Excellent point. :( Cha Feb 2020 #64

Pete was being honest. showblue22 Feb 2020 #62

But he won't. Squinch Feb 2020 #91

As was proven when sanders was asked by a reporter about the Hillary booing crap Thekaspervote Feb 2020 #122

"I have to wonder if Sanders is going to address this kind of organized abusive behavior".... George II Feb 2020 #142

He does cherish devout loyalty, despite what it might actually do to his campaign. ehrnst Feb 2020 #145

Do you think you are in the minority in this thread? Thekaspervote Feb 2020 #125

Hi, Thekaspervote... Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #137

How do we "know the one"? George II Feb 2020 #143

So maybe some are not Democrats...the question is who are they? Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #144

What does that have to do with a candidate's supporters being outright rude to two other candidates? George II Feb 2020 #139
