Sanders: Don't blame my supporters for violence at Trump rally

Bernie Sanders said Saturday that his supporters were not to blame for the unrest that led to the cancellation of a Donald Trump rally in Chicago, instead accusing the Republican front-runner of encouraging violence.

"I don't think our supporters are inciting.

Sanders also referred to an incident earlier this week in which a black protester was sucker-punched by a Trump supporter as he was being led out of a rally.

"So the issue now is Donald Trump has got to be loud and clear and tell his supporters that violence at rallies is not what America is about and to end it," Sanders said....

Don’t try to lay blame where it belongs. The violent protestors carry professionally-made Sanders posters.

So Sanders supporters claim responsibility and Sanders says to no blame them.

He needs to disavow the rioters and say he does not want their vote

So Bernie is saying that his supporters aren’t responsible for their own actions.

Leftism in a nutshell.

Sanders is an idiot. Trump rallies are for Trump supporters. Sanders’ people have no business being inside other than to provoke and incite. If they want to protest, they should do so PEACEFULLY and OUTSIDE the rally.

Well as of today’s conference, Trump said he will start pressing charges against those who disrupt his conferences, fair warning.

This last get-together in Chicago was methodically targeted and shut down by dems.

We see how Trump is pretty darned presidential.

Just saying.

“Bernie Sanders said in 1930 Germany: ‘Don’t blame my Brownshirts for breaking up those other Parties’ rallies they were asking for it!’ “

And the media obeyed.

Hitler never swung a club. Bernie’s Brownshirts can do all the dirty work, and Bernie can deny it. None of this is new.

Both cruz and sanders are saying virtually the exact same think. The could brothers of different mothers.
