He failed to acknowledge her and take her challenge seriously.

This stunt probably sealed his fate:

Crowley's conduct is what should serve as a warning.

hard it actually is to effect change.

That sounds like the bigger story.

In truth, disrespecting the Primary process is really an insult to the voters and it shows.

"Women's Rights are Human Rights"

Its been a vote getter since 1995!
I really think she should acknowledge the brave woman who owns that famous quote.

Its the right thing to do, as a fellow Democrat.

Her campaign was the only one that was truly rigged, as it turns out.

Rigged by a bunch of men. And look what they brought us.

It would be respectful & just, for those who wave her quotes on their banners, to also honor the human rights accomplishments she's bravely stood for, & in the face of mockery & mysogony by the weaker souls & gloating cruelty of society.

Her strength of conviction is owed, at the very least, recognition by those who use now her words.

I was watching one of the morning shows and they were really going over the top on this.

They compared it to Eric Cantor a few years back. Maybe I have been living in the dark, but I don't think this guy had nearly the high profile that Cantor had.

I have zero concerns about primary battles where the Dem can go on to win the General election. It only becomes a problem when the primary sabotages our chances in the general.

Dem Socialists mostly lost their races so I don't think that this one race in a super blue district is indicative of anything. There are a lot of reasons why she won including Crowley's performance.

Pretty poor propoganda at that.

People have yet to get how this made up narrative helps Trump and Republicans. The media gets it. They also get that the LIV’s they are pandering to don’t.

The propoganda helps profits, Trump and the Republicans. There is a group on the “left” who live to do just that. One needs to look no further than the support right wing extremist HA Goodman got right here on DU.

One of Goodman’s biggest fans on DU came out from hiding to post ops and comments stoking division this morning.

They are an extremely loud and ignorant crew. We always bite and take their yelling at walls as if it was a lot of people.

I believe we're seeing their happy dance as a Democratic icon is taken out.

than when you had similar happen in 2010 with the teabaggers and the media reporting about them - e.g., when Mike Lee ousted Bob Bennett in the 2010 Utah primary, where the M$M cheered on those new "insurgents".

This morning, NBC/Today took the chance to get some allegedly "former" republican on the spew nonsense about how this, and an "energized far left" are going to help Trump.

They played that game throughout 2015/16.
Mueller told us who benefitted from media manipulation.
It was then, as well as now, absolutely by design.

They're still doing it.

in 2010 and 2014?
