But OK. Here's what the Real Democrats™ had to say:

I'd like to know what was said. If he assault happened just because theysupport Sanders, lock him up

On the other hand, if they started some crud about Clinton and her supporters, would like to know more. I'd also like to hear from other witnesses. Can't see assaulting anyone over politics, but I'm not sure we've heard the complete story.

berniebroed the wrong person.

i am not Applauding an assault i am Applauding

i am Applauding a berniebro. making an ass out of them self...

She may have "walked into it" according to multiple witnesses

Whatever that means, but I am thinking that the fight might have been between the two men after leaving the hotel bar. Incident statement to be released today.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141451875#post46
Nothing justifies a bro calling Sen Boxer a b---- either, but but

Guess that was different cuz he was then cheered on & defended by bernie supporters all over social media.

Appears the lady walked into the argument & got hit.
Maybe she should have stayed out of the fight.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141451875#post57
bs. She inserted her head in the middle of a fight instigated by another angry bernie bro.

Appears he was defending himself from a Mad Bro when she stuck her nose in the middle of someone elses fight.
Shite happened. Its her own fault. She should have used better judgment than to jump in a fight. Then whine cuz she got hit.
She should have stayed outta of it but her decision was to join in.
Bros started the fight & now whine when one of theirs gets hit. WOW! Typical Bro mentality.
Its her own fault for getting in the middle of a fight in progress that was started by her fellow Mad Bro.

I believe they set him up. Then whine when they accomplish what they set out to do in the first place.
She had no business stepping in someone elses argument. That was a very stupid move on her part.
Mad Bros. Always starting shite. Hostile Bros. That's how they roll.

One was an impulsive act by a random individual. The other was a protracted strategy by the delegation of a candidate at an official event. There is a difference.

I remember when people on the Sanders's side thought that the impassioned behavior of a single individual should not tarnish either the entire group or the candidate when Dr. Song called democrats "whores" at the rally in Washington Square park.

And if there had been any actual violence, the POLICE were right there and would have arrested someone.

Shot fired at campaign HQ vs chalk graffiti at Democratic HQ
Essay on rape fantasy (an area backed by an entire literary genre and a library of psych research) vs actually smearing actual sexual assault victims
Long form tax certificate vs Wall Street motivational speeches to the people who crashed the economy
Etc.
It's interesting what does, and does not, outrage the worshippers.

I thought you were busy raising kids and working? You have time to check 9 million + voters records? We have checked something though. The number of investigations Bernie sanders is having regarding e- mails. Hillary leads 1 -0 in that category.
