(1,474 posts)Bernie has a small kernel of supporters that live in the sewers of 4chan, et. al., and spew vile hatred every bit as well as the MAGAtrolls.
In my opinion, he needs to deliver that cadre a sharp talking to immediately.
For example, from here in NV, from the Nevada Independent:
Two top Culinary Union officials have faced threatening phone calls, emails and tweets and say their personal information was shared online after the release of a union scorecard that took particular aim at Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Secretary-Treasurer Geoconda Arguello-Kline, for instance, has come under attack for her Nicaraguan heritage, and union spokeswoman Bethany Khan was accused of being paid off by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other Democratic establishment types. In tweets, the union and its leadership have been referred to as bitches, whore, fucking scab and evil, entitled assholes.
