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. What our supporters are doing is responding to a candidate who has, in fact, in many ways, encouraged violence," Sanders said Saturday at a press conference in Chicago. "When he talks about ... 'I wish we were in the old days when you could punch somebody in the head.' What do you think that says to his supporters?"
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....

Sanders supporter tried to rush Trump today, turns out the guy is a ISIS sympathizer who has been seen in many videos stomping on the American flag, gee I wonder what Sanders has to say about him..probably nothing since Sanders supports everything that guy stands for
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.
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”
Yes they are.
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.
He has the most appropriate initials, doesn’t he?

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, they’re YOUR commies.
“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,”
No, you Bernie Sanders, have to tell your sign toting violent supporters to stop violating other peoples civil rights.
ANd you have to do it quick.
“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.
Now cruz is on the same page as sanders. Isn’t that special.
Hitler never swung a club. Bernie’s Brownshirts can do all the dirty work, and Bernie can deny it. None of this is new.
Remember, liberals NEVER have to say “Im sorry” only Republicans do
Oh, but I do blame you!
Nice try Trumpet.
