In reply to the discussion: Bernie on Democratic protesters: "I am not a great fan of being rude or disrupting activities."... [View all]Autumn
(45,802 posts)50. It was in response to "how aggressive should republican officials be protested
when they're eating a meal at a restaurant," or is it appropriate for people to be banging on the doors of the SC."
He answered the latter first, he's strongly in favor of protests for social, economic and racial and environmental justice. The "he wasn't a "great" fan of being rude......or disrupting activities" was in response to the poor little Republicans being protested while dining.
As always a lot of comments and no listening to what he actually said. Selective editing at it's best.

Hafta agree with Hillary on this one... no civility for deplorables! Not even if we win the midterms

What's really interesting is if you watch the video you will see Bernie didn't do that.
