Black Leaders Rip Attacks From Sanders Supporters In Letter
https://splinternews.com/black-leaders-condemn-attacks-by-sanders-supporters-ami-1838259737In a draft letter obtained by Splinter on Thursday, dozens of prominent black progressive leaders condemned the hateful, violent, and racist threats they said have been leveled by self-identified [Bernie] Sanders supporters against black leaders in the wake of the Working Families Partys endorsement of Elizabeth Warren for president.

The WFP made a decision, with its members and supporters and staff, and there is now conflict over the substance of that decision, the letter reads in part.
It continues (emphasis mine throughout):

(25,479 posts)1. One has to hope that they're not really Sanders supporters.
The Sanders campaign did respond appropriately.
"This campaign condemns racist bullying and harassment of any kind, in any space. We are building a multiracial movement for justice thats how we win the White House." - Sanders tweet
"A spokeswoman with the Sanders campaign responded to questions by saying, We condemn any hateful comments, and referred Splinter to the senators tweet."

(45,120 posts)6. I know a lot of Sanders supporters. None of them are bothered by this endorsement,
most of them consider Liz their second choice. They should disclose the online attacks, threats and smears that they have received from the self-identified [Bernie] Sanders supporters. We know for a fact there are Russian bots all over the internet.
