Someone just shared this with me on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up3q9QvpIk8 @ about 3:00
He has said something, "i would hope my supporters dont disrupt trumps meeting", but its weak, i think hes missed an opportunity to look the bigger man in this, but hes chosen not to clearly denounce protestor violence. To me, on this, Bernies failed.

Bernie may not be responsible but now everyone knows who his supporters are.

I am a supporter and I have peaceable conversations with Trump supporters weekly. Does that mean I'm reflective of all supporters, or only when it serves your narrative.

if trump supporters were interrupting the democratic candidates every five minutes, we might give a fuck.
they aren't, so you chose the wrong candidate.

well, one can ally behind the cause of free speech, or one can ally behind the cause of no-platforming presidential candidates.
I'm absolutely sure they american people as a whole can figure this one out.

That's not what happened his next statement was to do what he suggests Trump do, unequivocally state he neither supports violence nor condones it in politics. What'd you watch? Additionally, Sanders has spoken out against actions like this in the past.

He's also praised the Cubans and Sandinistas in the past. What he does now is what matters, and what he did is what he always does - he pandered to try and get minority votes that will go to Hillary anyway.
