I'm glad the credentialing of the Nevada delegates was so careful

Judging by by the sexist language used by some of them and the violent tactics, I suspect some of these folks were Republican disruptors.

So it's a good thing their voter registration was verified beforehand so that they couldn't infiltrate the Nevada convention.

Especially if they were Republican disruptors trying to harm the convention or make Sanders' supporters look bad and/or sexist.

I'm sorry Bernie Sanders supporters clearly had nothing to do with it, how could I be so foolish.

That's the problem with HRC having a lot of fake Twitter followers and Brock puppets: pretty much anything she's associated with will fall under suspicion of having been faked.

You'd think socialist progressives would be the most supportive of excluding the sexist idiots that disrupted our convention. They even disrespected Nina Turner.

better, the establishment always ridicules first, then attempt to discredit leaders. If this doesn't work, it sends in provocateurs to incite violence so there can be an excuse to send in police with truncheons, gas and rubber bullets.

wonder. They don't seem to have a problem with it- claim the sexism was ""provoked". Wowsa, maybe they are disruptors.

and they shouldn't be defending it.

nobody who uses that kind of language should represent either candidate at the convention, or at any convention.

i'd challenge their credentials too, to make sure they weren't a disruptor.
