New Video of Nevada Dem Convention Shows Someone May Have Been Hit By Chair

New Video of Nevada Dem Convention Shows Someone May Have Been Hit By Chair
Bernie Sanders says "nobody was touched." Not so fast.
TOMMY CHRISTOPHER 2 HOURS AGO

Apparently, the fact that they clearly acted like assholes and scared the shit out of Nevada State Democratic officials isn't enough for some Bernie Sanders supporters, who have become really fixated on proving nobody actually threw chairs. Bernie Sanders himself has gotten in on the act, telling George Stephanopoulos that no chairs were thrown, and that his supporters were just "rude" and "boorish," as well as another claim that new video evidence disproves:

The chair obsession is off the chain....

The fact that there is new video is going to put them over the edge....

To some that's probably the difference, even though after he hit her it was no longer in his hand.

And didn't you hear Jeff Weaver the other day, Barbara Boxer had no "right" to be scared!

in that position, confronted by an out-of-control screaming mob holding chairs up in the air. My guess is that he wouldn't last 1/2 as long as Sen. Boxer.

and it dawned on me that when one looks at the rioters in Nevada, it was the same.

Or, perhaps, I did not look close enough which, frankly, I'd rather not.

For all the people who claim the NV convention wasn't violent or that Boxer or Lange shouldn't have been scared, I'd love to see them handle a similar situation as calmly as they did.

That many people wouldn't make that up.. the bros are being careful to not let their videos go public at this point.

Those videos are damning enough in the climate it created. Mob mentality is not acceptable in any circumstance.

Maybe they threw a chair, maybe they didn't.

What is established is that the Sanders delegates acted like hooligans, and then seemed not to care when the state chairwoman received threatening phone calls and e-mails. That's all bad enough by itself, whether or not a chair was thrown.
