Man brings swastika flag to Sanders rally

[Uncle Joe]

A man on Thursday interrupted a rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Phoenix by waving a swastika flag.

Sanders, who is Jewish, was welcomed by cheers at the rally that quickly turned into boos as attendees saw the swastika flag being raised behind him. Those around the man quickly ripped the flag out of his hands and he was escorted from the arena.

Sanders did not appear to notice the man at the time, though he later addressed the crowd, saying, “Whoever it was, I think they’re a little outnumbered tonight.”

Sanders — who, if elected, would be the first Jewish president — is the son of Polish immigrants who fled the Holocaust in Europe, where many of his relatives were killed.

2. Correction

Bernie Sander's parents did not flee the Holocaust. His father immigrated to the US in 1921 (lucky, because that was before draconian immigration laws were instituted in 1924). His mother was born in the US.

In 1921, Elias immigrated to the United States, where he became a paint salesman.[10][12][13] Bernard's mother, Dorothy Sanders (née Glassberg, 1912–1960), was born in New York City[14][15] to Jewish immigrant parents from the Russian Empire.[16][1

9. Montgomery County,Ohio

Just denied a KKK rally in Dayton. Cost the County and City over $600,000 last year. Businesses had to close, streets blocked just for a handful of KKK members.

Dayton is still cleaning up from the tornado’s last year, block after block still leveled. Commissioners that they had better use for the money. All Democratic.
