Tonight, CNN’s Don Lemon gathered a panel to discuss the story of a disturbing Facebook Live video out of Chicago in which a group of young black adults broadcast their torture of a young white mentally disabled man. While holding their victim hostage, they cut his scalp, burned him with cigarettes and kicked him, all while shouting “f*ck Donald Trump! F*ck white people!”
At the beginning of the conversation, Lemon turned to CNN political commentator and Democratic strategist Symone Sanders. Stating that he can’t say it’s a hate crime because police are still investigating, he asked the former Bernie Sanders campaign spox her thoughts.
After calling it “sickening,” Sanders gave the following observation: “But I’m gonna say something that’s probably not very popular — we cannot callously go about classifying things as a hate crime.”
After wondering if it were hate for Trump or white people, she expanded on he point. “If we start going around and anytime someone says or does something egregious or bad and sickening in sense,” she noted. “In connection with the president-elect Donald Trump or even President Obama for that matter because of their political leanings, that’s slippery territory. That is not a hate crime.”
Fellow panelist Alice Stewart was next to weigh in and while agreeing with Sanders the crime was “sickening,” she also said that she “hoped it was classified” as a hate crime.
Later on in the discussion, Sanders would argue that much of the rhetoric of the presidential election may have had an impact on the attackers and other troubled young people, which would draw some condemnation from Lemon himself who explained that they probably don’t even watch the news.
If Sanders seems familiar, it’s probably because you remember her mockingly exclaiming “Oh my goodness, poor white people” during an on-air conversation about a Trump supporter beaten by a mob. She’s also said the Democratic Party doesn’t “need white people leading” it right now and the election of Trump put “white supremacy into the White House.”

Symone Sanders: “Trump Supporter Beaten In Chicago Got What White People Deserve For Centuries Of Black Slavery”
Could there be a more perfect example of, “STUCK ON STUPID”.
Criminal lives matter!
If they are the correct color.
Source of quote?
Black people themselves are destroying decades of progress in race relations.
Haven’t we learned by now that a white person cannot be a victim of a hate crime. White lives don’t matter.....
What should really happen is the new Trump Administration State Department should issue a White American Advisory cautioning all white people to leave the locales of Chicago because extremist white-hate, bias and bigotry towards white people by its denizens prevails on an unprecedented scale.
Being bound and gaged is kidnapping.
That is why Trump won. The political elites, including many Republicans, can’t admit even the most obvious truths. The emporer has no clothes and all but the blind can see it.
Is that a true quote?
Let’s test this theory: suppose it was a black Trump supporter and white Hillary nutcases?
See how they do without the property tax payers for a year.
The perps are on video saying “F-— white people”.
If THIS was not a hate crime, then NOTHING can ever hereafter be labeled a hate crime.
Here is the source:
I am in no way affiliated with the site. I merely googled her name to see if I recognized her and the quote came up with the picture.
Here it is in the context of the website:
“I just have to emphasize one thing – my position on the incident does not derive from the fact that I’m a black person, on the contrary; but we have to face the truth and the only truth here is that white people have systematically oppressed and enslaved black people for more than 400 years. And I don’t know what has to be done to heal those wounds, but the way I see it – one traffic light beating is a good start, because it pays back hundreds of thousands of lynches, crucifies, hangings, mutilations and other gruesome ways in which white people toyed with black slaves in the past. We as a race deserve payback for centuries of black slavery and if stopping white people in their cars and pulling them out and beating them up in the middle of the street is the way to accomplish that, it’s better than nothing,” Sanders opined.
Not advised. Cities would burn, and whites would be murdered, and the perps of the fake video would have some responsibility for it.
Any self-respecting American Business that is headquartered in Chicago should highly consider moving and keeping their customers. As far as I’m concerned, I want nothing to do with anything connected to Chicago, period.
I agree.
“Some white people should get together and film a FAKE video of 4 white people doing this to a black person...
let the outrage begin...
then go on TV and announce that they did it to show the difference in response to the EXACT SAME CRIME”
Like it....
Zero Hedge purports to have evidence that they did the same thing PREVIOUS to this video.
When was this said?
