Bernie Sanders: Hillary Clinton Has 'Misstated' My Comments On Gun Control, Shouting

[UglyGreed]

"The question is not shouting at each other."

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Friday said his rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had "misstated" his statement that people should stop "shouting" about gun control.

Clinton recently portrayed Sanders' comments as sexist. "I’ve been told to stop shouting about gun violence,” Clinton first said at the Democratic National Committee's Women's Leadership Forum in Washington. “Well I’m not shouting. It’s just when women talk, people think we’re shouting.”

Sanders has defended his comments, saying they weren't sexist. During MSNBC's Democratic Presidential Candidates Forum on Friday, he accused Clinton of "misstating" what he said.

"If we are going to make progress on this issue -- and I know Hillary Clinton has kind of misstated my view -- as a nation, we are going to have to stop shouting at each other and we're going to have to come together," Sanders said.

"The question is not shouting at each other. The question is bringing people together around proposals that I would guess 60 or 70 percent of the American people believe in," Sanders added.

1. But

everyone already knew that Bernie, including Hillary

[daleanime]

3. And every one knows that as long as she see any advantage in it....

she will never deny it.

[sabrina 1]

8. I'm really disappointed in her more than anything else. To deliberately try to

distort another candidat's position on any issue, is just not smart. Besides she has all those secret think tanks doing the dirty work so why get into the frey like that?

[ejbr]

10. Don't say that!

Oh, you said "but" not "butt". Whew! That was a close one.

[UglyGreed]

12. LOL

that was a close one for sure!!!

[Aerows]

28. The whole butt situation

is so hilarious, I wish they would keep going with it.

If you can't laugh about the drama they tried to make of it, you just have no sense of humor.

Hell, I hope they were laughing when they posted the assorted butt threads. It was nice to get some levity around here, because it has been in short supply.

[ejbr]

33. Tell me about it!

A Clinton supporter posted a diary about the picture portion of the Rachel interviews last night. He/She rightly pointed out that using a picture of Hillary and Bill instead of a picture of Hillary by herself doing one of her impressive things early in her life was demeaning to her (compared to Bernie and Martin's pictures which only involved them). Now THAT is a sexist concern I can wrap my head around.

And yes, I try to avoid the heated threads as I find them futile. Making each other laugh or even laughing at ourselves (which I can do daily) is a better use of time.

[eridani]

43. Rachel used a picture of both? That really is disappointing

I just get audio now.

[hootinholler]

37. They were all agaga over Bernie's butt crack

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

24. yup yup. Bernie is a class act.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[HassleCat]

2. Lay those cards on the table, Bernie

I would be enormously relieved if somebody could come up with gun violence proposals that appealed to the majority of citizens. I assume he's talking about expanded background checks and a couple other things he mentioned before. But it's time to get specific about what is possible, what will work, and what will not work.

4. The Frantic Underhanded Political Rhetoric Of the Establishment Candidate Desperate For Traction

eom

[Evergreen Emerald]

16. He is confusing ineffectiveness with establishment.

Bernie IS an establishment candidate. I know he is trying to paint himself as an outsider, but he has been in politics for decades. He is confusing ineffectiveness with establishment.

[cantbeserious]

17. No - HRC Is The DNC DWS DLC 3rd-Way Establishment Candidate

eom

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. They are both establishment candidates. One is more effective than the other.

And that of course, would be Clinton.

[litlbilly]

22. Sorry EE, but you are completlely wrong. Hillary is the establishment's, Bernie is the People's

[Evergreen Emerald]

23. He is certainly attempting to paint himself as an outsider

But he is a political insider. With a mediocre record. He seems nice tho.

[litlbilly]

29. Try again, that one is bunk as well

[litlbilly]

30. You better hurry tho, you are gonna just be added to my ignore list

[Ned_Devine]

36. My list just keeps growing

[Dodo]

32. Mediocre record? We know that to be a lie.

However, it is the other candidate that has the bad record that people are trying to shine over...

[imthevicar]

34. 3- years

running with the same platform. Makes him a winner However HRC is fly shit on a window!

[eridani]

41. Who wants our government to be effective at fucking over the 99%? n/t

[merrily]

5. Ruh roh. He said "shouting" again, as he has for years, whenever he speaks of this subject.

And every single time he's said in the House, in the Senate, to a television camera, to a reporter, etc., it's been sexist and he's meant "shouting" very literally. Don't even try to deny it.

[virtualobserver]

6. And usually, he is shouting when he says the word "shouting"

only a sexist would do that.

[merrily]

7. Kudos for picking up on that sexist decibel level subtlety. Most people don't.

Even the most rabid liars!

[erronis]

20. Jeebus! Most of my ex-spouses have been shouters.

Maybe with reason. But I think shrieks and rantings and hysteria are probabilistically associated with one group or another. Oh-roh - I'm in trouble again....

[Vattel]

9. First, he tells Clinton to stop shouting, clearly implying that women should just STFU,

and then he crudely suggests that he is going to do physical violence to her bottom. At this point, only a rabid Bernie supporter would deny that he is waging a sexist campaign.

(If this is not sarcasm, then I am dumb as a stump.)

[ljm2002]

21. "If this is not sarcasm, then I am dumb as a stump"...

...hmmm, which one is it, I wonder...

[eridani]

42. No, he said that pro and anti gun people should stop shouting at each other

In football, "kicking butt" might be violent, but in most other sports it isn't. The only time it ever applies to individuals actually fighting with each other is in bars.

When you're 100% confident that your post is fine w/out a sarcasm tag, it 100% isn't.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. That was a Republican tactic that Hillary used....

Dissect something someone said to find something to take out of context and twist it to it's worse possible interpretation.

It's how the intelligence got twisted to imply Saddam was responsible for 9/11.

[ibegurpard]

13. Why not just say she lies?

He's a lot more polite than me.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. Hillary's tactics are SO transparent.

[SoapBox]

14. The Sexist Card, The Red Scare Card, The Racist Card...

Just the tip of the dirty politicking from her and her supporters.

3AM phone call anyone?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. yup...Hillary's just getting warmed up. Not to worry though, Bernie is ready for her.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[Aerows]

31. I preferred the butt posts.

They were amazingly funny!

[Enthusiast]

15. I can't state my impression of Hillary for engaging in this action.

I will say it is not good. I believe Hillary knew exactly what Bernie was getting at. What does that make her?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Does it start with an "L"?

[Enthusiast]

35. I'm afraid it does.

[Live and Learn]

19. Butt it is all about Hillary, all the time... nt

[Ned_Devine]

39. I've put so many HRC supporters on ignore, it's hard to follow some of these threads

And on top of that, my post that I put in here disappeared!

[cosmicone]

40. He voted against the brady bill .. no "misstating" that. n/t

[UglyGreed]

45. K/R

for playing semantics
