(44,173 posts)Pretty explicit there.
BUT, it seems to have been a woman, so perhaps I was wrong to say that the speaker of those words was a "Bernie Bro". So I'll apologize, but only for getting the gender of the bigot wrong.

(31,170 posts)No context, no idea where in the process that earlier vid came from. I'm not surprised to see that there was more video.

(4,507 posts)Someone in the crowd said "Bernie is english only"
but I couldn't quite figure out the context?

(24,396 posts)where one can clearly hear the words "English only" being yelled. In the earlier portion of the video you can hear people saying "no."
Could it possibly be that every body is right and nobody is right? How the hell is a person standing on stage to know exactly which side is saying what? Could it be that there was no intent to make the Bernie people look bad and that no one is lying here?
Were people being disrespectful? Perhaps. But it's a caucus, which is a situation that was new to many of the people in that room. People are jockeying for position and votes. It's isn't high tea.
You know, somebody yelling "Bernie is English only" could mean nothing more than "that's OK, this side of the room doesn't need a translator." That would make sense if the worry was that a pro-Hillary partisan was going to give bad info to Bernie's Latino supporters in the room.
If this is the worst thing that happened today in NV it's really a tempest in a teapot.

Two sources both of whom are neutral and not affiliated with the Sanders or Clinton campaigns told BuzzFeed News that it happened the way Huerta described.

Well, something just happened in Las Vegas that might really and truly challenge that. Dolores Huerta, longtime civil rights and farm-labor activist as well as a confidant of the late Cesar Chavez, tweeted this Saturday night from a Nevada caucus location:
And unfortunately for Sanders's supporters, there's video that at the very least backs up Huerta's claims that there was an awful lot of shouting and hissing while she was on stage at a Nevada caucus location. A caucus organizer had called for an interpreter willing to explain the process and latest updates to Spanish-speaking or Spanish-dominant caucusgoers. Huerta, clad in a Clinton campaign t-shirt, volunteered.
You can see in the video up above that wasn't so well received. Some sanders supporters may have been disturbed by the idea of a Clinton supporter interpreting events for the entire crowd. But, that alone can not explain all that Huerta said she heard from the crowd.
"It was mostly the organizers," Huerta continued, "the Bernie organizers were shouting 'no no no.' Then a Bernie person stood up and said said no, we need to have it, I can also do translation or whatever. The person who ran the caucus said, well we wont have a translator. The sad thing about this is that some of the organizers were shouting 'English only! English only!' The Bernie organizers."

Now, Huerta is a woman in her mid-80s. So any kind of shouting or hissing required a special kind of temerity to begin with. But for those not in the know, Huerta is about as close to a living legend in Latino civil rights circles and labor activism as they come.

That doesn't make sense.. "Bernie is English only"?

(31,849 posts)I guess the "cross-over" out-reach is working! We're getting folks participating in Democratic politics back that haven't voted Democratic since the good old 1960s.

(4,640 posts)You know, admitting that his supporters at that rally behaved abominably, for starters. They won't even admit to THAT. Instead, they insist that Ms. Huerta is hearing things and making things up. Y'know, because St. Bernie's apostles couldn't possibly be asshats. Nope.

Truly heavy sigh.
