Your favorite anti-establishment hero wont call off his dogs.
After the rally ended, my colleague and I went outside and saw the protesters. They werent scary, they were horrifying....
This is where I saw the key difference. Despite the clean, fatherly image of Bernie Sanders, his supporters are vile, villainous, and downright hateful.
I know not all Berners are like that, but I can now honestly say that the ones I saw, are. Nowhere have we and I mean the media seen Clinton supporters act like this. To frighten a child is wrong, inhumane, and malicious.....

Claims that Clinton supporters are just as bad as Sanders supporters have yet to be verified. I have seen nothing, not a single shred of evidence, that Clinton supporters are that aggressive. We keep hearing how great Sanders is, how wonderful he will be in office, but if this is true, why does he allow his supporters to behave like this? Why has he not asked that they behave with some civility? And why does he put out rhetoric that fuels this fire?...
I get that this is a protest, but scaring children and disabled people? Calling people names? Where is the kind Bernie Sanders who made friends with a bird? How is he protecting them from the establishment?

Professionally crafted Bullshit. Not all Hillary protesters are Sanders supporters.

Maybe a lot of people just fucking hate her guts.
I don't see any Bernie stickers on these protesters.

about 30 miles east of LA. Mount San Antonio College. Hope they get a prize because they did some outstanding journalism on Thursday.
