Morning Joe twists Bernie's statement on NV and again pushes violence in NV with NO evidence.
This is Bernie's statement.
“Within the last few days there have been a number of criticisms made against my campaign organization. Party leaders in Nevada, for example, claim that the Sanders campaign has a ‘penchant for violence.’ That is nonsense. Our campaign has held giant rallies all across this country, including in high-crime areas, and there have been zero reports of violence. Our campaign of course believes in non-violent change and it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals. But, when we speak of violence, I should add here that months ago, during the Nevada campaign, shots were fired into my campaign office in Nevada and apartment housing complex my campaign staff lived in was broken into and ransacked.
They made it seem like Bernie was saying sure the violence that you are described occurred in NV and I condemn it (this is NOT what he said). They also showed a statement by Reid, the schmuck who wants to hide documents/evidence from the Inspector Generals.
If someone caught one of the corporate hacks on camera when they were having an argument with their spouse and then blasted all over the internet that they were a violent abuser they would be rightfully upset. But they sure don't mind impugning other people.
Also, trying to paint booing as violence makes you appear weak. I hope you have plenty of fainting couches ready.
Oh, and once AGAIN no discussion of what actually happened (painting the party hack that VIOLATED the democratic process as a little old restaurant worker).
At that convention the Democratic leadership used its power to prevent a fair and transparent process from taking place. Among other things:
The chair of the convention announced that the convention rules passed on voice vote, when the vote was a clear no-vote. At the very least, the Chair should have allowed for a headcount.
The chair allowed its Credentials Committee to en mass rule that 64 delegates were ineligible without offering an opportunity for 58 of them to be heard. That decision enabled the Clinton campaign to end up with a 30-vote majority.
The chair refused to acknowledge any motions made from the floor or allow votes on them.
The chair refused to accept any petitions for amendments to the rules that were properly submitted.
“These are on top of failures at the precinct and county conventions including trying to depose and then threaten with arrest the Clark County convention credentials chair because she was operating too fairly.”
I guess they think if they say anything positive about Bernie we just ignore the underlying b.s. they are trying to push.
