Sanders supporters chant 'Lock her up' at Philadelphia rally: report

Source: The Hill

Bernie Sanders supporters took to the streets Sunday to protest using the same controversial lines that had been used by Republicans at their convention last week.

The Wall Street Journal reports that protesters chanted both “Lock her up” with some wearing “Hillary for Prison” t-shirts they marched in Philadelphia the day before the party’s convention.

The chant echoed throughout last week’s Republican convention in Cleveland, a regular response to almost any criticism of Clinton. And “Hillary for Prison” shirts could be spotted across the city, as vendors lined the streets hocking a slew of controversial shirts to convention-goers.

Clinton was cleared of wrongdoing by the Justice Department in the investigation of her use of a private email server. But in vindicating Clinton from criminal charges, FBI Director James Comey slammed Clinton’s “extreme carelessness” in working with sensitive information.

Not on the streets so you can't claim they were Trump plants unless they have been for the entire primary season.

it's so incredibly disrespectful to our nominee, especially when they're parroting what the RNC idiots did at their convention.

We 'aren't using our brains'.

They expect us to believe all of those cries to 'storm the convention' and 'bern down the convention' from ALL of those Bernie Supporters on the Internet was just a joke?

It is one thing if they were actually raising progressive issues, but RNC chants are a bit suspect.

This would make them look like idiots. They all know Hillary won the nomination.
It must be Trump followers. Who else would do this? Surely not anyone in the Democratic Party.

I cannot imagine it was a lot of people.
Let's not forget PUMA protest in 2008.
These people are going to have these 15 minutes if we like it or not. Is Sanders likes it or not.

What I strongly suggest is to not make more of it than it is, which is very little, and focus on the big picture. We have a lot of work ahead of us and this is nothing compared to what these racist and bigots and xenophobic teapublicans will throw at us for the next three months.

I guess it goes to show that some Dems can be just as irrational and hot-headed as the Repubs.
