The klaxxxon outrage machine that zoomed over to twitter to immediately start yowling because it gels perfectly with a bullshit narrative they've been trying to peddle for the past 8 months, not so much.

Seems like the video should stay up. All video should stay up. A full accounting of what happened is always good.

She hugged her, and then engaged her in a discussion. What sort of political universe are you living in, where no one ever has to hear anything they don't agree with?

HELP! IM BEING ATTACKED WITH A DISAGREEMENT OR A PIECE OF INFORMATION I DONT LIKE! CALL THE POLICE!

I mean the bottom line here is that some Clinton supporters are perpetually peeved that ANYONE might disagree with them, ever, at all, on anything. They're simply astounded that someone is even being allowed to run against her. The NERVE!

And she's disagreeing with the person she's talking to.

No, I didn't find it to be an "attack", no. I have much more heated discussions with my mom when we get on the topic of Sanders or Hillary.

but she's massively outnumbered in my family, especially by the Millennials. Pretty much everyone is for Sanders. So I'm not gonna give her a hard time about it.

Other day I was already in a crap mood and dealing with some other headaches, though, and she forwarded me this pro-HRC daily kos piece that's already been beaten to death over here. And I'm like "do we really need to do this? 'Cuz we can"

So no, she has no ability to delete ir.

I just saw two people making the case for the candidate each supports. Sarandon got testy when Huerta cut her off. Huerta was testy with Sarandon as well.

It was two people in a hot, crowded, caucus room. People aren't generally at their best at such moments.

And even if its some strange coincidence that she misheard, she was proven wrong and has yet to correct the record. That makes her a liar.

Props, saying what we all know to be probably true, without pulling bribery insinuations, without pulling 2008 garbage, without saying literally she "wore feces for Clinton."

It was probably a misunderstanding and she was frustrated and we should have respected her and disagreed without blowing it way out of proportion.

turned out someone else alerted right before me and thankfully, it's now hidden.

Some people sound like they were raised by rabid Chihuahuas, don't they?

At some point, we're going to have to get along to defeat whoever the Republican nominee is, and a simple acknowledgment that the story wasn't true would help mend fences. It's also the right thing to do.
