Vegas Paper: Someone Tried to Place Obituary Notice for Hillary

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/dem-primaries/270122-clinton-obituary-notice-prompts-secret-service-report

A man who appears to be a Bernie Sanders supporter has been reported to the Secret Service after trying to leave an obituary notice for Hillary Clinton in a Nevada newspaper.

The man, who identified himself as Don Schubert, filed the obituary notice Friday with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the newspaper reported.

The notice listed Clinton’s date of death as Saturday — the day of the Nevada Democratic presidential caucuses.

He was asked to leave the building and was later reported to the Secret Service by the Review-Journal.

The man was seen leaving the newspaper’s parking lot in a maroon Toyota Prius with several Sanders campaign stickers, and the newspaper said he was wearing a Sanders sticker on his shirt.

The official Sanders campaign website also lists “Don Schubert’s House” in Long Beach, Calif., as a volunteer phone bank site, the Review-Journal reported.

Contacted the by Review-Journal on Friday evening, Schubert said he had been contacted by a Secret Service agent, who said he could be arrested, but that the agency was not planning to do so.

He also said the obituary was an attempt at “political humor.”

He should be arrested and thrown in jail for a few days. What a stupid ass thing for any Bernie supporter to do.

I have NEVER seen such desperation from a Democratic candidate, which makes me wonder if Bernie is actually trying to throw the election to the Republicans. He knows he can't win the general election because America does not want a socialist, tax-raising president, but he also knows the only way the Republicans can win is if they're running against him.

Knowing the absolute hate that BS has shown his whole political career for the democratic party and the way his fans are so proud that right wing republicans also back him.

And I call upon the candidate to immediately reject and denounce this despicable behavior by one of his supporters.

Just more Bernie Bro crap.

Any means to his desired end: That's the Bernie campaign in a nutshell.

They are not discouraging, and actually are supporting the Republican plan to sabotage today's primary for Hillary Clinton. This might be what his "obituary" relates to--his enthusiasm for the scheme.
This is Carl Rove style politicking--cheating!
