Why Sanders is lying when he says he doesn’t approve of violence perpetrated on his behalf.
The reason Bernie Sanders pointedly refuses to condemn his supporters for throwing chairs and making death threats against Democrat officials at and after the party’s Nevada convention is because he doesn’t actually object to their violent behavior.
Sanders blew off pressure from Democrat leaders to disavow ugly tactics by his supporters at the event Saturday evening, calling the complaints “nonsense” and arguing that his supporters were not treated with “fairness and respect.”
The pro-violence radicalism among Sanders supporters comes straight from the top
Protesting in the streets is a Democrat thing. Dems will be protesting their own convention as well as the Republican convention. Republicans don’t do street protests. The Republican idea of a protest is simply not write the check.As a Republican, I much prefer that route. Much less time consuming leaving me time to do the things that Democrats protest.
