2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Snopes got the video. They were shouting out "neutral". [View all]brush
(53,740 posts)136. How can you know it wasn't?
That poorly mike video that didn't pick up every voice in that large space is not proof.
And it's been reported that it was maybe an official, not a Sanders supporter that said "English only".
That's why I think it was a misunderstanding and Huerta thought it came from the Sanders camp.
Anyway, all this will not change the results, but "liar, liar, liar" pertaining to a revered Latina activist and coming from Sanders supporters will certainly cost him some votes from the second largest voter demographic.
And that, I am certain, is not smart.
