Those Biden coffin protestors? A group led by a Warren supporter.

Presumably, everyone who was blaming Bernie for the actions of this group will now apologize. Then those same people are going to insist that Warren needs to speak out against this group. Or maybe everyone will learn from this incident not to hold candidates accountable for the actions of random people they have no association with or control over.

Right?

2. I apologize. I assumed it was a Bernie supporter and stated so.

There were more people there though. Are you saying all of them supported Warren?

6. Westin, based on his recent tweets, has Warren as 1A and Sanders as 1B

4. Members of this group were wrong to do this. Very reactionary and cruel.

Surprising aberration since this type of act is absolutely nothing like the campaign by Warren and her team and her supporters.

Do you wonder why it was assumed to be consistent with Sanders camp?

This group chanted Wall Street Pete at the mayor’s fundraiser in NYC just like the Sanders group chanted in NH at the dinner before the primary.

I suppose it would appear as a coordinated effort.

Would you prefer people believe this act is consistent with Warren campaign? You know it isn’t...but...would you prefer it?

5. In recent weeks, Jonathan Westin and NYCC has mirrored every Bernie Sanders argument

Read his and the NYCC's twitter feeds.

Their hashtags, arguments, and focus is EXACTLY the same as Bernie Sanders'.


It is true that they say they have "not endorsed any candidate", but when their rhetoric has a 100% exact overlap with ONE particular candidate, it is obvious who they are supporting.

Yes, you posted links to Westin's twitter feed from December of 2018. But in recent weeks, as Liz has fallen in polls, he has shifted dramatically to Sanders.

Many people claim to be undecided, or for another candidate when they aren’t.

9. Doesn't really matter who this guy supported the fact is it was just one person with bad taste.

Democrats who melted into a puddle of rage over this incident really need to toughen up before fall.

Biden gets a coffin.

One is more of a joke. The other, Given the personal tragedies, is unacceptable.

13. Of course it's unacceptable. But it's not like Sanders got to pick which protest he got. n/t

15. Unfortunate you lack consistency in that sentiment.

When applied to candidates other than Sanders, you consistently locate distinctions lacking a relevant difference.
