There's VIDEO of Sanders walking away when asked about NV chaos

[lunamagica]

It was on MSNBC

So, thee is proof, not just some random tweet.

Bad move, Bernie, bad move...

[grasswire]

1. just stop

breathe
go outside
have a cup of chamomile tea

[riversedge]

28. Sanders should have stopped and condemned his fans behavior. But he walked away

[grasswire]

34. a cold wet washcloth to the forehead sometimes helps

I recommend it.

[TheSarcastinator]

54. Hillarians get the vapors again!

I'll get the smelling salts and fainting couch.

[seabeyond]

62. No. They organize a cheat. They throw a tantrum. Accuse Clinton and Dems of theft. Then walk away

from the chaos they create. Bullshit. They have done this too many times. Create a chaos, pin it on Clinton, when they are responsible all along.

You all ... just stop.

[auntpurl]

65. Why? Because it's embarrassing?

I understand. I'd be embarrassed too.

[grasswire]

66. You should be.

It's getting sad.

[auntpurl]

68. Supporters of my candidate did not

disrupt a political meeting, turn violent, throw things, and scream misogynistic epithets at a sitting Democratic senator. Supporters of my candidate did not make death threats.

[winter is coming]

2. Do they also have video of Bilbray explaining why he ripped up his ballot?

He, at least, was actually at the convention.

4. Is that comprable to violence, threats and verbal assault

[winter is coming]

8. It's something that actually happened. The rumored violence is undocumented

and the threats and verbal assault may have come from Brock plants. That's the downside of letting people know you've hired a ratfucker to "correct" things: you're likely to be suspected of doing underhanded things, whether or not you actually do them.

[Ohioblue22]

10. Block's plants lol. Wow, pathetic

[winter is coming]

12. Yes, many of his plants are pathetically transparent. n/t

[Ohioblue22]

21. So many here think they are just so clever

[grasswire]

35. like you? nt

[leftynyc]

15. It's all they have now

Let them drown in denial.

[Ohioblue22]

20. They're using it like a talisman that is when they're not throwing chairs and stomping their feet

[leftynyc]

24. I feel sorry for them

I can't help it, I'm a liberal.

[Ohioblue22]

32. I feel badly for Bernie.

[lunamagica]

17. Brock plants demanding delegates for Sanders and yelling FRAUD! because she won...

Textbook example of pretzel logic

[riversedge]

29. Brock is the new Sanders fans meme. Boring and changing the subject will now make the

vile Sanders fans behavior go away. It happened and Sanders and you need to deal with it.

[TheSarcastinator]

58. David Brock is a hero! Stop defaming him!

I mean, the guy single-handedly smeared Anita Hill as a crazy slut, what more evidence of sainthood do you need?

[CrowCityDem]

3. Bernie, being such a leader.

[monmouth4]

5. Good for him!

[Txbluedog]

6. This is so against typical Sanders behavior

Does he know something the rest of us don't? If he truly believed that he was robbed they would be making a lot of noise against it---we are almost 72 hours after the event so there has been enough time for the campaign to investigate and form a response

[MoonRiver]

9. Bitter old man syndrome?

[Armstead]

18. That's totally sexist....Suppose someone referred to Bitter Old woman?

[Sheepshank]

64. huh...she still has silver fillings

busy lady.

[grasswire]

37. I know something YOU don't.

I know that disruption and disinformation are just wrong for Democrats.

You ARE a Democrat, aren't you?

[joshcryer]

73. It's more heavily coached Weaver BS.

[Ohioblue22]

11. Don't forget, benghaziiiiiiiiiiii

[seabeyond]

63. The big deal is the crooked was Sanders and he tried pinning it on Clinton and was caught once again

[seabeyond]

75. I do not buy into propaganda and rhetoric. I do my homework and pay attention.

Thru out this campaign Sanders has lacked integrity as he claims that is his hallmark. Very disappointing. And a couple looking at the facts... Not just validating perceptions and three decades smear jobs as labeled Clinton the most honest in this campaign.

If you want to base your beliefs of perception and not facts, that is your right. I personally feel that is a foolish choice in making decisions.

[KingFlorez]

13. What can he say?

It's not something that can be defended.

[Sheepshank]

16. Bernie has no intention to right this wrong

He is convinced that this is how his political revolution is enacted. And he nurtured this and fosters this type of action.

There is something very, very wrong with this thought process.

[dchill]

56. He's almost as bad as Hillary.

[workinclasszero]

19. WTF?

What a leader!

Violence, death threats and vandalism done in his name and he just walks away without a word?!

[oasis]

25. So much for Mr. "So real because he speaks from the heart" Sanders.

A woman's privacy was violated, her home and family threatened and HE DECLINES TO COMMENT ON IT?

[azurnoir]

22. yet another it was on TeeVee just a minute ago post..........

seems to be the story of the day

[lunamagica]

23. Because it was

[lunamagica]

39. Here it's a link to the MSNBC segment

https://bluenationreview.com/bernie-sanders-walks-away-from-question-about-chaos-at-nv-convention/

[azurnoir]

44. seen it already Andrea Mitchell and Peter Daou parrot Ralston Reports yet again

really ya'll going to have to better-as to Bernie I actually admire him for walking away from the lies being perpetrated by Clinton's surrogates

[Maru Kitteh]

26. I saw the video as well. Cowardly. Chicken-shit response. There is NO EXCUSE for not

taking an opportunity to denounce violence whether one thinks they "have all the facts" or not. Really sad that he decided to slink off and wait for his handlers to strap on his bib and spoon-feed him what he needs to say about the disgusting behavior of his followers at that convention.

[grasswire]

46. Do you have ANY idea how stupid that sounds?

Seriously. Some of you need to step back and calm down.

[auntpurl]

67. He could have even said

"All the facts are not in, but I condemn violence as any part of the political process." He could have made a vague statement, just SOMETHING, to address the fact that this happened in his name.

[Maru Kitteh]

70. Exactly. "Anything, anything anything 'we condemn all forms of both physical and verbal violence

and call for it to stop immediately, no matter where it may come from' anything anything anything. We will have more to say on the matter as facts are made clear."

How hard is that?

[Trust Buster]

27. He's a fraudster and NOT a leader.

[workinclasszero]

33. Hes a coward too

Sander's leadership style--->

[grasswire]

45. do you have ANY idea how ridiculous that sounds???

NOBODY believes that.

[ThePhilosopher04]

30. Good job by Bernie not to comment on Clinton flame bait.

[Maru Kitteh]

38. Jeff Merkley, the ONLY US senator to endorse SBS compared those followers to Republicans and called

their behavior "thuggery" which it is. At least Merkley had the moral fortitude to condemn violent, psychotic behavior and state that it does not belong in our party.

[grasswire]

42. link?

thanks in advance

[Maru Kitteh]

49. I live in BFE, so it will be a while for the upload

but when it is finally done, you may find it here

And by a while - I mean go ahead and count on having a little supper first. That's the joy of internet infrastructure in the mountains of Montana.

[ThePhilosopher04]

43. He can say whatever he wants to say. It's a free country. Good job by Bernie though.

[G_j]

31. link?

just read this whole thread, no links...

[lunamagica]

41. Here you go

[G_j]

48. Thank you nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

36. The High Sparrow

What a POS.

[grasswire]

40. this thread has become a rogue's gallery.

SMH.

Look what Brock has done to Democrats.

All you are doing is deflecting from the FACT that Hillary faces an interrogation from the FBI very soon.

[KitSileya]

47. This isn't new. He's done it before, in Arizona, and in previous situations.

He is a man who cannot handle anything but a friendly audience. The moment he gets difficult questions and the journalists won't let his stump speech answers slide, he can't handle it.

By the way, that's how we know he hasn't been truly vetted. No journalist has asked him probing questions about his past, and not let him off with platitude answers, because if that happens, Bernie throws his mike off and walks away. In his behavior, he more and more resembles the other party's presumptive nominee. Thank goodness our presumptive nominee knows how to handle situations like these!

[Maru Kitteh]

59. "In his behavior, he more and more resembles the other party's presumptive nominee."

As do the worst of his supporters.

[auntpurl]

69. +1

[ecstatic]

80. +infinity. I really hope he concedes with dignity tonight.

He's in WAY over his head. He can't handle it.

Besides, the superdelegates will never join him and the violent bros, at this point. It's over.

[William769]

50. Losers usually walk away. nt

[floriduck]

51. Just more MSNBC bullfuckingshit. They are the Clinton cheerleaders and aren't worth the effort.

[notadmblnd]

52. If you were watching MSNBC just now

You know what you just wrote is a total lie. Sander's issued an in-depth statement.

[TheSarcastinator]

55. Hillarians Lie Without Thought or Fear of Consequence

Hillary can lie and cheat, why can't they? David Brock said it's OK!

[herding cats]

60. It's not a lie, actually.

Link with the video: http://www.nbcnews.com/video/sanders-dodges-question-about-convention-disturbance-687328835563

The statement was made after this, not before. Bernie was caught off guard, and then issued a statement after the fact.

It's all right here, including Sanders' statement.

https://mobile.twitter.com/DannyEFreeman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

[notadmblnd]

79. Well if it was on NBC or twitter, it must be true

[herding cats]

82. It's a video of him being asked and choosing not to answer

Then turning and walking away.

People acting silly about it like you're doing doesn't do Bernie any favors.

[notadmblnd]

83. Well I'm not hurting him either.

He should have walked away. He's not responsible for what happened in NV. The Clinton camp orchestrated this. No eye witness interviews, no video. I find it hard to believe that even Clinton supporters are so inept they lack basic smart phone skills. In the middle of a riot, no less.

[Maru Kitteh]

77. Sure. AFTER he walked away from the question so his handlers could tell him what to think

and say.

[lumberjack_jeff]

53. Good, he should stop dancing to the media outrage machine jukebox. n/t

[Jester Messiah]

57. Video of him not rising to a Hillarite provocation?! Oh the shame!! n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

61. K & R

[rbrnmw]

71. K&R

[Scurrilous]

72. Kick

[ecstatic]

78. Coward. Not presidential at all. nt

[itsrobert]

81. Maybe he got a call on the "POPE" Phone?

The Pope must be summoning him to another lower level conference.

[Number23]

84. He did exactly what you said. Was asked about the violence, closed his mouth and ambled away

and not a response, adequate or otherwise, was to be heard.

Absolutely disgusting.
