Pahrump, Nevada (CNN)--A Bernie Sanders supporter was escorted out of a Ted Cruz rally Sunday, after a scuffle that included the man interrupting the Texas senator and another attendee grabbing his throat.
In a dusty town halfway between Las Vegas and Death Valley, a municipality where prostitution is legal and citizens recently voted to remove most of the Town Board's power, it's a part of the Old West where Cruz hopes to consolidate his party's libertarian wing.
The heckling started in full when Cruz delivered a standard line in his stump speech about repealing Obamacare. Craig Bohannon, a 50-year-old Sanders supporter, took exception to that terminology.
"It was rewritten by Congress," Bohannon shouted. "Not by the President! By Congress!"
Cruz continued with his speech periodically interrupted by Bohannon.
The incident boiled over, when Cruz pivoted back to Obamacare and Bohannon grew louder. This angered one Cruz supporter in particular, and the two men stood face-to-face.
"I need a cop here," yelled Bohannon, who wore white hoops in his earlobes as large as silver dollars and his finger nails painted black. "I need a cop. I want to file charges!"(continued)

So tolerant leftist likes to disrupt an opponents rally.
A protester turn out the arena lights at a Trump rally in Georgia
Excuse my French
You have been warned
What a bunch of pussy’s
I think the Trump rallies are running a minimum of one communist beating per event and then the victors are brought up on stage for a round of applause.
“I need a cop. I want to file charges!”
Be sure and give him something really worthy of filing a charge over....
You’re about to be flamed! Bernie Sanders and Don Trump are NOTHING ALIKE! PERIOD! LOL
“...but was trying to decide between Sanders or Trump...”
Yeah...RIIIIGHT.....
Is this guy still out on the streets??????
“I need a cop here,” yelled Bohannon,
Here is the link to the Brietbart article. From this morning. Of course it is not still on the main page, but read it for yourself. The guy is some kinda crazy character bordering on nut-job. Especially if you read the CNN article. Some of these supporters for Sanders and Trump are basically just anti-establishment supporters. And trump and Sanders are both basically appealing to this crowd. It makes sense that many supporters would be cross candidate supporters.
That's a good start, and I hope to see more.
I posted a link to the Breitbart article just above this comment. This guy is definitely "out there" but he says he wants either Trump or Sanders to win. He just wants to shake it up. Apparently long standing issues, or beliefs don't matter. He just wants change . I gotta think there are many more like him out there, that have the ability to support either Sanders or trump. It doesn't seem to really matter what they each profess to believe in.
It’s obvious that the guy is a nutcase or a total liar....
The differences between Trump and Sanders are immense....
That comment is really equal to somebody saying, “During WWII, I was for either Germany or the USA...”
I had occasion to visit Nevada some years ago and was told that people who were too crazy for California ended up in Pahrump.
Hahahaha. That may be true, but I live in California and no one is too crazy for California. And there are plenty of anti establishment people in California that don't really believe in a candidate's positions, and only hate the existing government, and will support anyone who says they will shake it up and are outside the box candidates. They simply don't care which direction the country goes in, they just want to go somewhere different. I think there are LOTS of people here in California like that. I mean come on - Arnold got elected Governor here.
They are suckers for charismatic "change" candidates. And that is a fair amount of Sanders' and Trump's appeal to a certain segment of their supporters
Gentle reminder Nevada got nuked so it wouldn’t happen to the rest of the country. :)
I wouldn't be to sure about that. Listen to this video.
Thank you. I ran across that photo a couple of days ago while looking for something else, and I’ve been wondering when it would finally make an encore appearance.
