Were they waving a red flag, perchance?

Senator Sanders did not tell his crowd to beat the Trump & Nazi supporters. He did not offer to indemnify attorney defense fees. I feel certain that such thoughts would never cross his mind. Yet another contrast, were one needed, with the powerful and amazingly insecure Orange Buffoon.

I’ve had the feeling for a while that supporters of Mr. Sanders lack boundaries. I’m not saying that Mr. S. is a Nazi, or anything even close, but he does seem to draw supporters with unusually aggressive attitudes.

Let’s blame the victim, shall we? The Nazi is the protestor not Sanders or his supporters.

You do not have to state Nazi and Pro-Trump flags since they are one in the same.

The verb ‘heckle’ means to interrupt a speaker with aggressive comments. There is no mention that Sanders was interrupted.

LOL. I knew I could find the most warped takes imaginable on this here. As if Bernie or his supporters had ANYTHING to do with this.

And I’m not sure how anyone could have mis-read the article in such a bizarre way.

How could you possibly read the article and come away thinking the flag-waver was a Sanders supporter?

“”…the man who had allegedly waved the flag shouted “Shut up, [n-word]” at a black man,”
Gee, wonder if he voted for trump. Must have been the economic anxiety.

Gee. I wonder why a neo-Nazi would choose to wave the Nazi flag at a Bernie Sander’s rally. Hm. Have to think on that…

I’m not a fan of Bernie, but waving a Nazi flag at him is gross beyond belief. There’s no place for that sort of thing anywhere.
