Sanders Campaign Rocked Again: More Staff Caught Advocating Violence Against Opponents
Daily Wire ^ | January 28, 2020 | Ryan Saavedra

2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) campaign was rocked again on Tuesday after James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released more undercover footage exposing paid Sanders campaign staffers appearing to advocate for violence against political opponents.

The new video from Project Veritas allegedly shows Sanders campaign South Carolina field organizers Mason Baird and Daniel Taylor advocating for “extreme action” and “militancy” against political opponents and private property.

Project Veritas provided the following highlights of things that Baird said:

“I’ve canvassed with someone who’s an anarchist, and with someone who’s a Marxist-Leninist. So, we attract radical, truly radical people in the campaign … obviously that’s not outward-facing.”

“A lot of those people who do that kind of work, are … their politics fall well outside of the American sort of norm. So, they’re Marxist-Leninist, they’re anarchists, they’re these types of folks, and um, and they have more of a mind for direct action, for engaging in politics outside of the electoral system.”

“A lot of the stories we’re told in the United States about, you know, the gulags and the persecution of the Kulaks and things like that are exaggerated … we certainly don’t have, uh, a straight perspective on that stuff here in America.”

“We would need a federal government and a labor movement that is working together to strip power away from capitalists and preferably directing that violence towards property.”

“It would, it’s gonna take, you know, it’s gonna take militancy … like a militant labor movement that’s willing to … strike, and if necessary, you know, just destroy property and things like that.”

“… after we abolish landlords, we don’t have to kill them …”

Marxist slime. Their whole purpose is the destruction of America. Death is too good for them.

I don’t know. Call me a softy, but I think death would be just right for them.

He’s pretty much assured of being beaten by Trump. And there is a good chance that will cause riots.

The riots will start when Sanders is again blocked out by the Democrat/Left during their convention. He won’t even get a chance at Trump and the Left will go totally insane ... then sit out the general election. It’s all good!

Yep. The true big story is the brewing dem full blown civil primary war, not the impeachment. Weird, the more the elite dems try to take out bernie the stronger his base becomes. In that sense like trump but on the left. His supporters are pissed off and they are voting in the primaries. Getting a large dominoes pizza next tuesday night. Fun fun fun.

“Sanders Campaign Rocked Again: More Staff Caught Advocating Violence Against Opponents”

if anything, it seems to have helped him, as there’s been a significant rise in his poll number since the videos came out, so significant that he surpassed Bidn in the first three primary states ... maybe that’s why he never disavowed or fired those drunken moron campaign employees ...
