For the love of God, just stop.

It's the nature of the beast we ourselves have created....

she might learn something.

I bet she didn't know it would come from a "dem" candidate's spouse. Still she was strong enough to stand up and try to find meaning in her child's death.

who has no kids but is an educator, to the three? i think, women who had direct family connections to gun murders, as well as the politicians and ministers who spoke from the audience, all had heart wrenching stories to share. Hillary served as a moderator for them to speak about the problems, and to talk about the process of finding and implementing real measures to make progress.

It was extraordinary to watch it streaming live. Haven't been able to find a link or transcript.

And to think that anyone is trying to make this a political attack, is disgusting. And so is the abuse these people deal with every day for speaking out for common sense laws.

the campaign to be so callous and ignorant.

Would love a link to an online source. Thanks!

Not her best move.

but the more we hear from Mrs. Sanders, the darker his campaign becomes. The longer we go - the worse it becomes across the board, so maybe it's just coincidence.

Yep...it's almost like she didn't change a word, just parroted the standard NRA "politicizing gun tragedies is bad" speech. Maybe Bernie should just start stumping for Trump; he's already doing it anyway. Why not just be honest about it?

and who will vote for HRC. Not all gun owners think, believe nor act like the RW ones. Gun owners are strong in my family, and will vote for HRC because she is right.

No one is trying to take guns away. Sensible gun laws need to be in place. WTF is wrong with that?

The devastating pain of Sandy Hook massacre of the children and teachers is as fresh today as when it happened. There is nothing any politician or surrogate can do but be absolutely humbled by the heartbreak and courage of the survivors. The ONLY appropriate response is to listen with an open heart and mind and offer comfort. The Sanders family needs more humility and compassion in the face of tragedy and suffering. Their cynicism makes them look all the worse when you have families who you literally cannot hurt any more than they already have been.

They need to stop

Her response is ugly at best. I cried and cried when it happened. I could not stop crying. The trauma, the survivors went through will haunt them for the rest of there lives. That is a fact.

tanking his chances in a state thanks to tone deaf comments.

I wish she would take some the $27 donations and get to Vermont so she can release those tax returns.

I'm glad that she will never be the first lady.

Why is it unreasonable to ask politicians to take on these challenges? The Sanders have an attribute I see sometimes in people who see everything in huge, broad strokes. It is hard for them to relate to the problems of individuals.

I see Sanders as a more global thinker, and we need people like that. Ideas are important.

Moreover, I see Hillary as someone who can put ideas into practice, will plan and maneuver to get as much done as possible when faced with only intransigence from the other side.

need him at all.

Remember when they were ridiculed by members of GOP when they came to Washington? Or mocked by the group that feels this never happened?? These families deserve every voice that stands with them for better gun control laws...

Jane is mad because they didn't choose Bernie...she should have learned her lesson after the Daily News headline that began Bernie's big NY fail...this subject will never get them anywhere but further down... He just clinched losing CT.

@ team BS thinking this is a good idea.. just like trying to divide the "Southern Voters".. now showing how brainless they are over the grief stricken parents of gun violence who chose Hillary. And, jeeze.. I wonder why? Could it be his dismal voting record on sensible gun laws?

You'd think they could come up with better strategies but no.. not them.

Jane is too protective of her husband to be his political advisor. I have seen her on numerous news interviews and I do not believe a former college president can be as politically disingenuous as she represents herself.
Here is another quote attributed to her in the wake of the New York primary:

"But top Sanders advisers said the senator had no plans to take the pressure off his Democratic rival as long as she keeps up her
critiques of the Vermont senator. 'We have received a lot of innuendo and dismissiveness and demeaning comments from the Clinton campaign - from the secretary herself and from her surrogates,' Jane Sanders, the candidate's wife and a close adviser, said in an interview. "He's not going to sit by and just not respond.'" Wall street Journal April 20, 2016

And this was after Hillary reached out to his campaign in her speech.

Sanders is being very badly served by his wife's blinkered, biased POV. She's doing him no favors.

her strengths and accuses her of what he's guilty of doing.

jane sanders has no class like all of his other surrogates are lacking.. cornel west, jonathan tasini, susan Sarandon, tim robbins, dr paul song, whatever.... I wouldn't even want to think of her as taking over Michelle Obama place.

I find this so incredibly hypocritical of Jane Sanders. Remember that ad Bernie had with Erica Garner? Why is it ok for Bernie to do that, but not Hillary?

Good for Erica and all, making her choice and speaking out. More power to her!

It's laughable though to think of Hillary's spouse remarking on that, isn't it? Can you imagine?

Can you imagine him ever daring to say in an MSM interview:

If Bill Clinton had commented on that the way Jane Sanders did, there'd be critical news stories for weeks! They'd probably ask for a public apology from him.

Way, I am surprised at the lack of compassion, double down, denial of bad votes by Sanders.

big-league national politics.

She encouraged BS's amateur and ill-advised Rome gambit.

She has repeatedly obfuscated and dissimulated about those invisible tax returns.

She has become her husband's whiner-in-chief, which diminishes both her and him.

And, she continues to insert her foot into her shit-eating grin on any media outlet available.

walking the razor's edge with every post.

The "back-woods" comment is so appropriate, but I hesitated for some time...

I can't wait for the BSer BS to disappear from this board!

then delete numerous posts, I'm sure I would have been penalized a long time ago!

to bolster their sagging campaign!

seeing this. The second was to feel the heartbreak of the SH victims' families at the thought that Jane would so callously misrepresent this meeting.

Perhaps I would be a better human being if I had had the second reaction first. But I am being honest.

I simply cannot imagine Jane Sanders filling the FLOTUS spot and doing us all proud - especially not after the magnificent Michelle Obama. Jane is too blinkered by Bernie and as tone-deaf as he. This incident is a prime example of that.

I heard her speak. Hope Hillary's team ignores this. She doesn't deserve the attention. Grateful the Sanders family will never be in the White House.

This reeks of, "how dare you take the high ground, it's ours!" The moralizing left hates to have their purity cred impugned.

graphic!

Sorry Jane, the only person those families can turn to for help in promoting gun control on a national level during this campaign is Hillary.

They already know they can't trust your husband to take on the NRA. His votes are on record.

Release the taxes!!!

....and the victims' families support for Clinton and Connecticut legislators.

She's just like her husband, throwing out the same tired old talking points without even looking into whether they're correct or not.

and shut her mouth. AFTER all the bullshit that campaign has been pulling, this is just sickening, and TONE DEAF. What the hell? ONLY BERNIE can have an opinion or be right, right?

But, that's okay. 2.5+million votes ahead, 250+ pledged delegates ahead, so obviously HILLARY is doing something right!

Something the Sanders' should feel ashamed of--their lack of compassion and advocacy.
Jane Sanders to have the nerve to insist this is something more shallow for Hillary Clinton is disgusting and desperate. What an awful person.

... pretend it never happened. Ignore it and it will go away. Nobody wants to hear about other people's problems. Grief is a private matter.



Good god! What is wrong with that woman??

Makes it sound bad. Because they 're defending where they come up short in the issue!

What was that WHOLE VATICAN TRIP about????

was responsible for approaching the Vatican for including Bernie in this already scheduled event. He has stated so. Bernie then made it out as if the Pope invited him. That is why there was so much confusion surrounding how it came about. Prof Sachs has a close relationship with the Vatican and they honored his wishes. Don't tell me it wasn't political on Sach's part as he knew this event coincided with the NY primary. He probably thought it would give Bernie a boost. He thought wrong.
