Police Investigating Possible Attempt To Murder Bernie Sanders (VIDEO)

Since at least September, people have been calling for Secret Service protection for Bernie Sanders, noting that he is vulnerable to “potentially violent confrontations with disturbed people.” With the Right’s almost devout adherence to their misunderstanding of socialism and conservative politicians’ desperate attempts to equate Democratic Socialism with National Socialism (After all, a man who wants to make education affordable, help the poor, and rebuild our infrastructure is just like Hitler).

It seems as though people who are concerned with Sanders’ safety are correct — because on Thursday, someone shot up his Nevada campaign office while the Senator was in town. Winning Democrats reports that campaign staffers found a bullet hole in the window of the Las Vegas headquarters on Thursday morning, the same day the Senator was on site.

So far, the bullet has not been located, but Metro Police took a report for malicious destruction of property and are investigating the shooting. Police confirmed that a bullet appeared to have gone through the window, but were unwilling to confirm that a shot had been fired, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

The Sanders campaign declined to comment on the shooting.
