Bernie Sanders Will Open The Women's Convention And Some People Aren't Happy
Newsweek ^ | 10/12/17 | CONOR GAFFEY

Posted on 10/13/2017 9:39:36 AM PDT by Leaning Right

he Women’s March on January 21 was possibly the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history, with up to 5.25 million people taking part across the country. The movement is seeking to build on that legacy by hosting its maiden convention in Detroit later in October.

But the choice of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders as the lead speaker at the convention has sparked criticism from commentators, who suggested that a woman should have opened the event.

Sorry, Bernie, but you have become yet another victim of identity politics. The next thing you know, the left will demand that all pictures of Bernie be removed from public places.

Some of the twitter outrage:

Do we need to get a man to tell you how inappropriate and offensive this is? Will that make you listen?

Unbelievable. There are countless women who deserve that stage time. Why on earth is it given to Bernie Sanders?

Bernie and Maxine at the same venue. I’m so sorry I’m going to have to miss that.

But if Insane Asylum Escapee Ashley Judd is on the agenda again, it might be worth watching and laughing at. Her epic psychotic meltdowns are quite entertaining.

'Cause he likely saved us from the horror of Hillary?

I’d sure love to have the hanky concession at the convention.

My sources tell me that should Sanders be dis-invited, this person will deliver the keynote address instead.

I would think they would want Harvey Weinstein and Ben Affleck etc to appear.

Maybe they should invite weinstein to open the woman’s convention instead. They had a muslim woman for sharia law in charge of the woman’s march, so it wouldn’t be much of a stretch for them.

Wow, do-nothing loser is criticized by sexist bigots? That's a more accurate headline, right there. Thanks Leaning Right.

“Sorry, Bernie, but you have become yet another victim of identity politics. The next thing you know, the left will demand that all pictures of Bernie be removed from public places.”

People are making Bernie sound more like Leon Trotsky all the time. You probably know how that ended for Trotsky. Do I sense another case of “Arkancide” coming up?

Sander’s wrote a fiction book that included a fantasy about raping women. I’m surprised that these leftists couldn’t find an actual rapist like Bill Clinton to open the proceedings.
