In reply to the discussion: NV Democrats file complaint against Sanders campaign to DNC [View all].99center
(1,237 posts)40. "Indeed, actual violence"
Screw the establishment and its fake, right wing, dirty smear tactics about violence at the convention, you will not successfully label people who choose to peacefully protest as the enemy.
"What we can only describe as their encouragement of, and complicity in, a very dangerous atmosphere that ended in chaos and physical threats to fellow Democrats."
Was this statement written about Barbara Boxer, she's the only one on stage creating a dangerous environment. I expected this sort of attack on Bernie, it was clear within the first minute of watching Boxer trying to incite the crowd. They didn't get the violence they hoped to achieve but they're claiming otherwise.

At an official Democratic event, I hold Sanders responsible for how surrogates act in his behalf.
