MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid: Sanders Supporters "Throwing Dollar Bills" At Hillary "As If In A Strip Club"

MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid's gut reaction to the protest outside a Hillary Clinton fundraiser last night at George Clooney's house where Sanders supporters pelted her motorcade with 1,000 $1 dollar bills is to say that it reminds her of the Sanders supporter last week who called Hillary Clinton a "Corporate Democratic Whore."

JOR ANN REID: let's go to our third video, Bernie Sanders supporters throwing dollar bills at the motorcade of Hillary Clinton as she was going to the George Clooney fund-raiser. We're going to roll that video in a second. Just the idea of that, and people went on twitter afterwards. You can see the video there. People throwing dollar bills as if in a strip club.

This coming on the heels of a Bernie Sanders surrogate having to apologize for using the term "democratic [corporate] whores" at the Washington Square Park rally.

That visual there, of throwing dollar bills at a woman as she's going by in her motorcade, has the Democratic race gone over the edge?

Is there anything they won't exploit in order to defend Clinton?

Why do their minds automatically go there with Hillary? if they associate Hillary with that context with those words it's because they have a fucking agenda

Someone says Democratic Corporate Whores, speaking of the democrats beholden big pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us as to why we can't get Medicare for all , ( last I checked Hillary didn't vote on the ACA and even if elected president she will never have a vote on it)
Media and Hillary supporters... OMG the words Corporate Whore... Hillary !!! (associating only the second word with her of course)

Protesters outside Clooneys chant Hey, hey, ho, ho Hillary Clinton has got to go!, an old protest chant that I and millions of others used back in the days of Vietnam Hey, hey, ho, ho LBJ has got to g , and the protesters are raging sexists because...Ho and Hillary!!! Those two words automatically go together in their minds

Now they have gone off in their sleazy ass minds and put Hillary Clinton on a fucking pole because protesters threw dollar bills at one of many cars in a motorcade. (yes, I did watch Chris Rock on comedy central last night, highly recommend it)

Who the fuck are these people? Someones gone over the edge alright but it's not the democratic race.

By the way the article is fucking lying. The term used was not "democratic whores" at the Washington Square Park rally it was "Democratic Corporate Whores" speaking of those who take money from Big Pharma and the private insurance industry and vote for their interests instead of ours. As those words have always meant and been used here o n DU and elsewhere.

I don't immediately think, "Someone is talking about me!!!"

That's what has puzzled me about this.

Actually, I do get it. According to a thread posted just today referencing Hillary's very own Pravda, Blue Nation Review, women who have experienced sex discrimination are more likely to support Hillary. This explains the Clinton campaign's devotion to the victimization-to-vindication narrative. It gets votes, and knowing the Clintons, and especially Hillary, as deliberate and methodical a thinker as anyone in politics, this approach has been carefully focus grouped and polled.

Frankly, I like her Iron Lady persona a lot better than her Delicate Hothouse Flower, but that's why I'm not a campaign consultant, I guess.

Why do people hold these morons from the media up as if they're exalted people, when they're anything but? Up next, an idiot tells us what she just thought up. Stay tuned.

I thought it was amusing. Did Hillary stop the car to pick up the money or aren't $1 bills worthy of collecting?

then dancing in the streets, obviously reveling in their self-importance. The motorcade went by in a flash, so the camera focus was on the dollar bills in the street and some manic looking people, one dressed up with Bernie hair. It was a horribly unhinged visual, but not for Hillary.

edit: And the protestors Clooney was referring to on MTP were in San Francisco. He said one approached him and called him a corporate shill, and then he said he sucked as Batman. That's how shallow and empty this so-called "revolution" is. They just insult the crap out of people and that's the main focus. Sick of it.
