2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)The most disheartening aspect of Dolores Huerta's false allegations--THE HATE. [View all]
The video shows that Dolores Hureta did not hear Sander's supporters yelling, "English Only!" as she stated. You don't hear it on the video and now she's walking back her allegations-- that multiple witnesses in that caucus room have refuted.
Not only did Huerta lie--she took to Twitter to widely disseminate these lies that she knew would seriously damage Senator Sanders, his campaign and his supporters--with their friends in the Hispanic community.
Dolores Huerta sent out her tweet at 5:18 p.m., when it was evident that Clinton won; and after the caucus data clearly showed that Sanders had won Hispanic supporters by 9 percent.
This was a deliberate attempt to unravel the progress that Sanders has made with the Latino community.
I suspect that this was a dirty hit, purposely elevated to social media to inflict the greatest damage.
What is disturbing, is that Clinton won! Instead of celebrating and being joyous--this campaign immediately parlayed the win into a tool for bloodying Sanders--by lying about his supporters and fomenting hate for them.
It is evident that Hillary Clinton and her supporters HATE Bernie Sanders supporters. They detest us. Winning is not enough. They want us destroyed. They'll lie to do it. They'll use esteemed civil-rights icons to do it. Whatever it takes.
In my opinion, if Clinton wins this nomination--Progressives are screwed. We've been dismissed and ignored in the past--but now I feel hate and disdain being lobbed toward Sanders supporters.
Clinton doesn't seem satisfied with a win; her campaign and surrogates want us politically eviscerated, viewed as trash and beaten back until we're reduced to nothing.
That's how I feel. And it's highly disturbing to me.
