Roberta Lange tweets about baseball,gets attacked by Bernie supporters.

Last week, Nevada Democratic State Party Chairwoman Roberta Lange was mobbed by harassment and death threats from irate Bernie Sanders fans who suspected her of handing the state to Hillary Clinton. On Saturday, Lange, a Mariners fan, tried to tweet lightheartedly about baseball. Guess how that went?

Politifact thoroughly evaluated the claims of fraud and misconduct at the Nevada convention and determined them to be unfounded. At the same time, rumors that irate Sanders supporters were throwing chairs—rumors that we also reported—are likely inaccurate too. (One person was definitely seen holding a chair aloft and advancing towards the stage, but he was surrounded by other people who made him put the chair down.)

The event, then, was a disaster by any standard definition, but it didn’t represent, say, the election being “stolen.” That hasn’t stopped a select group of people from continuing to be dead certain that Lange, whose post in the Democratic party is a volunteer position and who manages a restaurant, is the new center of a sinister, Clinton-supporting conspiracy. Which is why this is happening, when Lange had some thoughts about sports.
