(3,284 posts)He's gaslighting them and acting like an abusive boyfriend- trying to dismiss their fear. It's pretty disgusting. Who wouldn't feel fear in a situation like that?

(3,284 posts)So "it never happened" because there's no video proof a chair was actually thrown? What about the mob hurling insults, rushing the stage and later leaving death threat voicemails? I can't believe the author's trying to deny that these people physically intimidated not only the chair, but her grandchildren and family. Should that kind of behavior pass for normal now?!
BainsBane
(53,035 posts)Of course they did. That was the point, to show the press the nasty messages left for her. That article is minimizing threats of violence and misogynistic slurs, insults toward women in public life. It's horrendous. And get this. I found the article because an Episcopal Priest I know posted it on FB supposedly to refute claims about the convention.
This piece shows some footage, including the chair up in the air (but yes, not being thrown.)
sarae
(3,284 posts)they're using the semantics of the chair issue as a distraction. There were plenty of issues with the way they acted, even if you ignore anything to do with chairs.
Thanks for the video!

I'm still leery of that 62/36 projection, but the trend is clearly upward.

(90,737 posts)....and then mocking them for being angry about it and afraid.
Look at the list: Dolores Huerta. Barbara Boxer. Roberta Lange, the volunteer (unpaid) head of the Dems in Nevada. And I am quite sure this is an incomplete list.
I'll bet their mamas would be so proud if they knew.

(60,338 posts)If he wasn't how in @#$@# can he make that determination?
sarae
(3,284 posts)I read that Jeff Weaver wasn't even there, so I don't know he can make that kind of pronouncement. Even if he was there, he still doesn't know how they felt. I'm guessing there's a slight difference between being part of a mob vs. being the focus of an angry mob.
