Bernie Sanders Supporters Don’t Care if Russia Hacked DNC Email
The Daily Beast ^ | July 26, 2016 | Tim Mak

Die-hard Bernie Sanders supporters aren’t too concerned over whether or not Russia and Vladimir Putin leaked the DNC’s emails.

PHILADELPHIA — Bernie Sanders’ most ardent supporters couldn’t care less about Vladimir Putin’s alleged role in the hack of Democratic National Committee emails that suggest the primary was rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton.

They’re fuming over the content of the emails, but seem unconcerned about how they were released to the public—apparently through an insidious Russian information operation to influence the American elections.

The revelations in the emails are a scandal, to be sure. But the broader scandal is that a foreign government is seeking to influence the American election—and that it’s having an effect. But Berniacs are willing to turn a blind eye to this.

“I’m really thankful to whatever the source was,” said Mike Arnold, a Bernie supporter from Atlanta wearing a shirt reading, “Hillary for Prison.”

“I don’t care if a man on the moon reported it,” Arnold continued. “I couldn’t care less. The bottom line is that [Clinton] is corrupt.”

The FBI suspects Russian government hackers were behind the breach of the DNC’s networks, as The Daily Beast reported. Allegedly, the Russians hoped that the presidential election would tilt in favor of Donald Trump, who supports cozier relations with Moscow, and has routinely heaped praise upon Putin’s strongman tactics. The emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee were later posted to WikiLeaks.

Thousands Bernie fans who were marching on the Democratic National Convention this week were nonplussed. Instead, they’re focused on the vindication they feel over how the Democratic Party’s nomination process was rigged in favor of Clinton.

Sameera Khan, a political activist and former Miss New Jersey who identifies as a Bernie surrogate, told The Daily Beast that she wasn’t fazed by the Russian-plot...

The press is in full out panic and propaganda mode.
They’re wringing their hands that NOBODY is falling for this diversion.

Why would anyone care?

The resignation of Wasserman is proof that the emails are genuine.

There is no evidence they hacked them either, pure speculation, but the press writes as if it is fact.

It is very telling that the story is who hacked these emails that show collusion between the media and the dems but not the content of the emails.

The author of this article, Tim Mak, is an idiot. If the emails are genuine, it doesn’t matter in the least where they came from. The truth is the truth, regardless of the source.

At this point, what difference does it make who released them?

One DemoncRat lies and mentions “Russia” to deflect the Email scandal and before you know it we have a full blown International Crisis, or so they hope.

Deny, deny, deny, even if your Pants are wrapped around your Ankles. Who do you believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?

Whoa the Bernbots actually put on their thinking caps.

Maybe they will even realize that good ole Bernie sold them out for a few pieces of silver.

The DNC needs to hand out tin foil hats at their “convention” fiesta. Tin foil sombreros for the “Taco Bowl Engagement” delegation.

I am simply amazed that a bunch of Socialist snowflakes actually can think in a logical manner. Maybe there is actually some hope for this country.

One does not need hacked emails to know that Queen B has the golden ticket. It has been all Bush and Clinton for almost as long as I’ve been alive, with a mulatto fag thrown in to break the monotony. If you disagree, you are a sexist pig.
