Dems' new fear: Sanders revolt could upend Democratic convention <----- CNN Bull shit headline

(CNN) — Sen. Barbara Boxer, a veteran of Democratic politics, says she never saw anything quite like this before.

Loud cursing, shouting, obscene gestures and vile insults, including crude comments about the female anatomy. It was all on display over the weekend as supporters of Bernie Sanders turned the Nevada State Democratic Convention into chaos.

"I was not able to stop these people for doing what they did," Boxer, a Hillary Clinton supporter, told CNN. "Apparently they've done it before. .... This group of about 100 were very vocal, and I can't describe it -- disrespectful doesn't even explain it, it was worse than that."

"He should get things under control," Boxer said of Sanders, saying it was worse than the vitriol during the Bush-Gore 2000 recount. "We're in a race that is very critical. We have to be united. He knows that. I have in fact, called him a couple times, left a couple messages. I'm hopeful he can get control of this."

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said "I do" when asked if Sanders should drop out of the race after voting concludes on June 7, giving Clinton a chance to "pivot" to the general election ahead of the July convention..."

1. Ef you ladies. eom

[Silver_Witch]

2. Oh my did someone pass the ladies the smelly salts?

They "used vulgar words" oh dear - lions tigers and bears! Oh My they used obscene gestures too...

How long have these ladies been in politics - I am sure they have heard a few swear words and references to body parts as well. Gosh they are showing how silly they are.

Nice to know we have strong and brave feminists in the house.

3. If Bernie drops out of the race, I drop out of Democratic Party politics.

Should be interesting.

9. Same.

I'm curious if the DNC realizes yet just how much fire they're playing with. They're complaining about potential violence that won't materialize, at least not from our side. Oh no, as a life long Democrat I can do something much much worse than a violent outburst, I can leave the party. And they have pretty much shoved me right out the door. I'm still hoping they come to their senses, but that hope is diminishing all the time.


What's funny is I'll be called a traitor, or childish, or a fake Democrat. But the truth is I have been patient and loyal to the party for much longer than it has been loyal to me. When it finally does happen it won't be with joy or with anger, but with disappointment.

4. Boxer was part of the problem. She really has a hell of a lot of nerve to point fingers at anyone

but herself!! Pathetic!

[JDPriestly]

8. She lost it. The delegates were fed up with problems in the organization of the convention.

And for us, Bernie supporters, this is about changing the Democratic Party. We are not quitting. Hillary and Barbara Boxer and the rest of the Democratic Party need to be worried about Bernie or bust.

19. 'Zactly. How she can sleep at night...

[Ed Suspicious]

5. Giving her a chance to pivot.

FML. Establishment needs to suck an egg.

[Ino]

23. Really...

she pivots in every new speech she gives anyway, LOL.

[bjo59]

6. Boxer (and Feinstein) should be embarrassed when they end up with egg all over their faces

as it becomes clear that this whole hatchet job on the Sanders delegates is just that, a hatchet job. They won't be embarrassed, though. They both understand, as do Reid, Lange, and the rest, that you only have to get the smear disseminated by the media as news for a brief period to do some damage. Shameful corrupt behavior of Democratic Party "insiders" and those who support them.

7. OMG

This piece was like reading bad fiction. Their masks are totally off, no doubt about it. When you know the truth of what happened like we do and then you see what they are saying - WOW. They are freaking out. Evidently they don't understand that we know what happened. It's all over the internet and what they are saying doesn't match at all with what we've seen with our own eyes. WOW.

Thank you so much for posting this piece.

10. Has anyone actually listened to her speech?

It struck me as a taunt directed at Bernie supporters about how Hillary had won this group and that group (in Nevada) and how she was going to beat Trump. And this was all while there was a motion for a recount on the floor and various shenanigans had bee undertaken to manipulate the outcome. At any rate I considered it a provocation, possibly a deliberate one.

11. Isn't Boxer....

Hillary Clinton's Sister-in-Law. What part of the HER Family is "Let's Go To War Anytime" Feinstein connected too?

[mak3cats]

20. Boxer's daughter...

...is Hillary Clinton's former sister-in-law. I'd give a link, but I'm at work and have to type and run.

[LovingA2andMI]

21. Thought....

They were related -- by marriage, but still related. Thanks!

[LovingA2andMI]

12. Might want to LISTEN...

To Nina Turner talk about how Boxer taunted Bernie Delegates at the Nevada Convention. This should tell you how low Boxer would go for her Sister-in-Law.

13. to HELL with both of them!

They're both liars and what will they say WHEN Bernie wins California?

[Plucketeer]

17. HA!

That's a good question, eh? Our supposed reps with their backing ill-placed.

[Lordquinton]

14. Can someone inform me why those two were at the NV convention?

And why they were in any position of power and not just as guests?

[JudyM]

18. That was my thought. Now, unfortunately, I've concluded that Boxer knew what the chair had planned

and was brought in as a reinforcement to quell the expected pushback from the Bernie folks.

"Progressive" woman leader. It should've worked. Except the principle was more important than the personalities.

[Duckfan]

15. I thought Feinstine was a disgrace voting with dubya on the war and phone tapping.

But I had no idea Boxer would stoop this low. I don't live there any longer so I wish my fellow DU'ers in Calif. the best of luck in voting her ass out, and finding a progressive to replace her.

The establishment filth comes crawling out from under their rock.
