MSNBC's Reid Sanders Supporters "Throwing Dollar Bills" At Hillary "As If In a strip club"

Let's face it a lot of Sanders supporters have not done his campaign any favors--they come across as immature and mysogynistic.

MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid Horrified By Sanders Supporters "Throwing Dollar Bills" At Hillary "As If In A Strip Club"
By Tim Hains
Posted on April 17, 2016


MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid's gut reaction to the protest outside a Hillary Clinton fundraiser last night at George Clooney's house where Sanders supporters pelted her motorcade with 1,000 $1 dollar bills is to say that it reminds her of the Sanders supporter last week who called Hillary Clinton a "Corporate Democratic Whore."

JOR ANN REID: Bernie Sanders supporters throwing dollar bills at the motorcade of Hillary Clinton as she was going to the George Clooney fund-raiser. We're going to roll that video in a second. Just the idea of that, and people went on twitter afterwards. You can see the video there. People throwing dollar bills as if in a strip club.

This coming on the heels of a Bernie Sanders surrogate having to apologize for using the term "democratic [corporate] whores" at the Washington Square Park rally.

They really think they're clever, but that money could've fed a lot of homeless people. When I was part of the Billionaires For Bush protest group, we dressed in thrift shop "fancy clothes," raised empty champagne glasses to the half million DC protesters as they marched past the Treasury Building, and threw fake paper money.

then the president can sign it into law. We need people with the ability to govern, instead of being in the streets, lets get people in every elected position.

I forgive her for her comment yesterday that scumbag Hugh Hewlet is commentator extraordinaire, or something to that effect. HH is fine when commenting about repug issues but he usually tries to turn every discussion into anti-Hillary RW talking points.

Me: Hey hon? When someone throws dollar bills at someone, what does that remind you of?

Her: A strip club.

Me: People are throwing dollar bills at Hillary.

Her: (look of dawning horror and disgust)

He's also a BS supporter. BUT, he also said that she's obviously going to be the nominee, and doesn't understand why he's dragging this out. Yes, he's voting BLUE in November, no matter who it is.

Remember his shooing away his wife with , "don't stand next to me" ?
Then there's today's video, walking right past Maragaret Archer at the Vatican conference.

He's an old man with a 1950's take on the value of women.

No wonder he doesn't feel Hillary has the judgement to be President. Only men, thinking men thoughts with men's common sense should be president, eh, Mr. Sanders?

I'm not sure what planet all those cute white folks have been occupying for the last 8 years (I just watched the video), but while the Rethugs control the House and Senate, NOTHING is happening. Nada. Zip. Just lots and lots (and lots) of votes to repeal Obamacare.

Down ticket is vital.
