CNN, MSNBC Hosts: Bernie Bros ‘Sexist’ for Throwing Dollar Bills at Hillary (BARF ALERT)

Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders supporters staked out Hillary Clinton’s George Clooney-hosted fundraiser in San Francisco and threw actual dollar bills at her motorcade as she drove by. They did so to decry the corrupting force of money in politics, but Clinton’s campaign has actively painted it as a misogynistic attempt to liken her to a “whore.”

This narrative likely stems from a comment made by Sanders supporter and prominent healthcare activist Dr. Paul Song at a recent rally. "Medicare-for-all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic whores who are beholden to big pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us,” Song told the crowd. Following the event, Sanders was forced to apologize, calling the statement "inappropriate and insensitive."

Now, a series of media commentators, echoing insinuations they have heard from Clinton’s campaign, lump those two incidents together to frame Sanders supporters as sexists who view the former secretary of state as a sex worker.

Playing footage of the protesters on Sunday, MSNBC commentator Joy Reid described “people throwing dollar bills as if in a strip club.” She added, “This coming on the heels of a Bernie Sanders surrogate having to apologize for using the term 'democratic whores' at the Washington Square Park rally.”

She owes strippers, and the American male, an apology.

Apparently Hillary is desperate enough to play the “sexism” card against a 72-yr old commie.
