1. I just listened to all of the speeches, including Sanders's speech. I didn't hear any booing.

[dsc]

5. they were booing at their headquarters while Pete was speaking

it wasn't a split screen.

[FreeState]

6. How would you?

Bernies supporters aren’t at Pete’s event. They were booing him at Bernies event when Pete was speaking.

[marlakay]

7. I didn't hear it either

And Bernie reminded everyone just like other candidates that goal no matter who is to take out Trump.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. It DOESN'T MATTER what Bernie says... what's important is to bash Bernie at every opportunity!!

But that's okay, the Baseless Bernie Bashing Backlash, as I call it, is REAL and it's why Bernie has surged to become the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination!! It's what will propel President Sanders to the White House!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[JudyM]

38. And he emphasized the importance of unity among all Dems, specifically.

He was pretty pointed about that.

[SMC22307]

2. It's not OK, if true. I don't like it at all.

Bernie needs to rein them in.

[UniteFightBack]

11. Nobody else at other rallies or gatherings does this...well beside dump. nt

[Gravitycollapse]

16. Right...all the proverbial booing for Sanders happens in here.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. TOUCHE!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

35. Nonsense.

[democrattotheend]

13. If they boo while he's speaking (like if he references another candidate), I'd expect him to

Just like McCain did at one point in 2008 when his supporters got too nasty when he mentioned Obama's name.

But some people seem to expect Bernie to call out his supporters when another candidate is speaking - don't see how that works.

[SMC22307]

18. Not when other candidate is speaking at the same event... rein them in, in general.

Again, if true. I haven't watched any clips.

[dsc]

22. easy

you set the tone at your headquarters. If that had happened at any other candidate's headquarters the person at the mic or the person nearest the mic would have said loudly to stop and the crowd would have done so. Do you imagine for a minute that Warren's people would have permitted that behavior? or Amy's?

[still_one]

3. If Sanders cannot control his own supporters, how can anyone expect him to unite the party

If this were a one time occurrence that would be one thing, but this is a pattern of behavior with them

[JoeOtterbein]

4. Ohhhhh nooooooooossss....

...better hold on tight!!!!

[dsc]

10. literally no other candidate's supporters do this

none. Obama's supporters didn't do this (and on the one occasion that they did he rebuked them). Pete's supporters don't do this. Amy's don't. Warren's don't. Yang's don't. Only Sanders.

[Tipperary]

15. Yep.

Sad.

[JoeOtterbein]

17. Sorry! ntn

[Cha]

21. Precisely.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. SERIOUSLY JOE!! HAHAHA!!

[JoeOtterbein]

19. Hold on...has...your...

9. Sanders also stepped on Pete's speech

No need for him to do that. Low class move, IMO

[Cha]

12. smh :(

[democrattotheend]

14. I agree

I was mildly annoyed about that. I don't recall him and Hillary doing that to each other in 2016.

[madaboutharry]

43. That was classless.

Buttigieg was very graceful in his remarks. Sanders starting his speech while Pete was still talking was selfish.

[LonePirate]

20. Considering some of the vitriol and negativity directed toward Sanders, I am not suprised.

I am not condoning the behavior of his supporters. I am merely saying I understand it. The voters whom Sanders has energized are the future of the party and the centrists/moderates in the party (and here on DU) are relentless in trashing Sanders and his policies, which is effectively demeaning his supporters. Self-interest can be blinding to some but Bernie's policies would be good for America as a whole, especially for young Americans.

23. So let me get this straight

if we say that MFA is a bad idea it is OK to boo the first gay man who won delegates in a primary. I do just want to get this straight.

[booley]

40. Ok maybe you can explain it to me , a gay man

Buttigieg isn't running for top gay guy.
He is running for President.

Health care and the flaws in Buttigieg's plan have nothing to do with his sexuality that I can see.

I have seen and experienced homophobia. What happened to Buttigieg ain't it.

[marlakay]

34. I have a FB friend that is Bernie

Supporter that posts some negative stuff about other candidates and spreads some rumors.

I comment on every post that we need to be unified and give facts about rumors.

I noticed she is being more careful about what she posts.

In case Bernie doesn’t win we need to keep all his voters, everytime I post I say something nice encouraging both our candidates.

I use to work with her and when its not campaign time all posts are great. We have to find a way past this to get along.

[jcmaine72]

24. Maybe they were just joking?

You know, kinda like calling a visibly horrified and humiliated woman a "lying dog-faced pony soldier" to her face. If that can pass for a stroke of Richard-Pryor-esque comedic genius around here, why not this?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

37. Excellent point!!

25. They Are True Believers. Bernie's Campaign Has Painted Pete as Being On The Take

Of billionaires, so they hate him. Likewise, Bernie's campaign has painted Elizabeth Warren as being a liar and closet Republican, which is why Bernie's supporters were chanting "F*&k Warren."

That is how Bernie rolls. He elevates himself by burning down the Democratic party and all his rivals around him.

[mr_lebowski]

27. They also HAAAAATE Nancy and Hillary, and Tulsi is their #2 after Bernie ...

I've seen and heard it, in person.

[betsuni]

41. +1

[krissey]

26. The buck stops with Sanders. It is the flavor of Sanders campaign since 5 years ago.

Consistently, none of the other supporters behave like this. It says something.

[redstateblues]

30. Cultish behavior

[booley]

39. can you show the booing? I didnt hear any

I watched the entirety of Sander's speech.

Herd him thank he other candidates and say we should support whoever wins.

If there was booing, I didn't hear it. Maybe it was drowned out by the cheering?

Or this guy is just lying.

[EveHammond13]

42. Tom Perez should just kick his ass out of the primary. I'm sick of this shit.

[Amimnoch]

44. Is there an actual link capturing this claim??

I've clicked the tweet, the tweet within the tweet, the link to another tweet within the tweet, and can't find any capture of this at all.

I mean, I'm totally on record as being a 100% ANYONE but Bernie 2020 person, but even more than that I value critical thinking. Just because my bias wants to believe it doesn't mean I'll blindly accept it without at least some evidence or corroboration.

45. Mr. Avaros is a major journalist so I tend to believe him
