Related: About this forumThe Hill is now reporting on Tlaib booing Clinton at a Sanders event
There are a couple of other threads about this already, but just linking to tweets.
It's now being picked up by the news media.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/480999-tlaib-boos-clinton-at-sanders-event-says-haters-will-shut-up-on-monday-when
The moment happened toward the end of a panel discussion with Tlaib and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) at Sanders's first "Caucus Concert," which featured a performance by Bon Iver in Clive, Iowa, ahead of Monday's caucus.
All three lawmakers have endorsed Sanders in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary and have spent time campaigning for him. During Friday night's event, the lawmakers mostly spent the time on stage discussing a number of progressive issues, including climate change.
At the end of their discussion, activist Dionna Langford, who was serving as moderator, mentioned Clinton recently saying "nobody likes [Sanders]," eliciting boos from the audience.
Langford sought to quell the booing, saying: "We're not gonna boo, we're not gonna boo. We're classy here."
That was when Tlaib jumped in, laughingly saying: "I'll boo. Boo."
"You all know I can't be quiet," Tlaib added. "The haters will shut up on Monday when we win."
-snip-
Obviously, despite what Langford said, some of the people there were anything but classy.

(6,110 posts)So I have learned in my golden years to try my best to not hate anyone.
But I do have intense dislike for the warmonger neocons.
They seldom volunteer for combat but have little problem sending kids of other people to fight foreign wars.
Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, Paul Bremer, Norman Podhoretz, John Bolton, Bill Kristol are on that list.

(6,110 posts)Opposing Bernie or any other politician is not hate, it is simply political disagreement.
That is NOT enough to hate anybody.

(23,319 posts)of BS that is slightly critical of a statement or policy of his is automatically construed as hateful. I dont want Sanders as our nominee...for a ton of reasons. Doesnt mean I hate him. Big difference.

(31,261 posts)She is running for borough president, but is considering getting into the House primary instead. From what I have been able to gather on her, she has been strong on constituent services, an area that AOC is said to have not put much of an effort into.

Surprised she didn't refer to Hillary Clinton, who has done a million times what Tlaib had done in her life, as a "motherfucker"!
There is no excuse for this. But will Sanders condemn it? Probably not.

(20,709 posts)And yeah, if you say "nobody likes him" to a leading candidate, then that's going to upset supporters of the candidate.
Still shouldn't have booed. But it's understandable they were upset.

He certainly does NOT discourage his surrogates from actions like this.

IMO, BS deserves every "wolf" who is after him. He is only and ever a Democrat of convenience. Remember that please!
