(62,325 posts)right wing fundies what they came to get, a photo of three Black people being dragged away from a Sanders event. Certainly most of us got that this was what they wanted.
Instead he did what most who had the brains to see what this was really about, hand it all over to them, do not call security, and let the world see just who they were.
And we did, very quickly their game was exposed. Bernie has come out of this beautifully with many AAs stating publicly they do not want him to associate them with these three.
I cannot think of a better way he could have handled it. He DENIED them what they wanted most.
Kudos to him for his quick thinking.
He now has more AA supporters who are going to Social Media to tell him how much they respect him, and it has not only NOT affected him, it has caused those AAs who are supporters to become even more active in his campaign.
Bernie mingled with the crowd while they screamed and ranted and had to go to another event after that one, which was even bigger than any others up to that point.
Fantastic handling of Right Wing disrupters. DENY THEM WHAT THEY CAME FOR.
