Sanders denouces his supporters who claimed to interrupt Trump speech

[riversedge]

Jake Tapper just now on cnn.Tapper brought up the fact that some Sanders supports are bragging that they stopped the Trump rally Friday night. Sanders said they should not interrupt.

I am sure there will be articles about this soon.

1. let others do your dirty work for you

2. Bernie is right to say this. nt

3. I'm not convinced his heart is in his statement.

Judgement call on my part....I don't sense the passion.

[riversedge]

4. Of course not--He should have spoke out when they started bragging

[JFKDem62]

7. I love Bernie, but you are right. He should have denounced the violence from the beginning.

He is letting Trump bait him.

[FarPoint]

8. I totally agree...

No sense of sincerity.

17. It isn't--it is a revolution!

He wasn't very convincing when he "took responsibility" for theft of Clinton data, or when he publicly-as-a-politician told his supporters to stop their nasty, bullying tactics months ago. It seems more for the record. He needs these supporters and the way they do things.

6. He got pushed by Jake to do so. My beef with

this issue is that they were INSIDE the hall where Trump was to speak. I have no problems with any protests outside --loud and large -more the better.

9. yeah! I don't want any of that crap!

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

10. To ask for toning down of statement, name calling of Hillary has not

Happened, though asking them not to interrupt Trump rallies.

18. We shouldn't hold our breaths!

After all, she is the stand-in for all things evil and wrong!

13. I don't recall him ever saying that. Do you have a link to back that up? Thanks!

eom

16. Well, in all honesty, Bernie supporters aren't to blame for the unrest. Trump is. So Bernie is

correct. Trump is inciting violence, with escalating force, at his rallies and his supporters threw the first punch(es).

Naturally, when a White guy punches a smaller Black guy, and this is broadcast all across the nation, expect a response. And although there were some who shouted Bernie's name, who's to say they were really Bernie supporters?

Remember, always look at who benefits from this, and the answer in this case is, Trump.

So Bernie is correct in denouncing those supporters of his who have claimed to have disrupted Trump's campaign - and not to do that. It only helps Trump.

I'm saying this as a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, by the way.

19. Some may have been Bernie supporters, but

those kind of demonstrations attract people who have their own agenda - left of leftists, anarchists, criminals, etc. Progressive should not have been inside the venue trying to deny them their free speech. It is stupid for Bernie supporters who think this is a good thing.

14. Good for him.
