The night before the Nevada caucuses, the chairman of the state’s Democratic Party called police after several Bernie Sanders supporters gathered outside his home with a bullhorn to issue a warning about the next day’s election

The night before the Nevada caucuses, the chairman of the state’s Democratic Party called police after several supporters of Bernie Sanders gathered outside his home at 11 p.m. with a bullhorn to issue a warning about the next day’s election.

William McCurdy, the Nevada party chair and a member of the state Assembly, confronted Estrada and the other Sanders supporters outside his home nearly an hour after they arrived. He told them they had “crossed a line.”Estrada shot back: “If any bullshit happens tomorrow the only person who crossed the line is you.

The incident and three others in recent days come at a time when some Democrats and rival campaigns say Sanders’ supporters are engaged in harassment and bullying, both online and in person. His opponents have increasingly highlighted examples and argued that Sanders has allowed a toxic culture to fester among his fans. The conduct could complicate Sanders' efforts to unite the party as he’s established himself as the frontrunner for the nomination.

At around 9 p.m. the night after the Nevada incident, Estrada and several other Sanders supporters went to the Los Angeles home of California Secretary of State Alex Padilla. Padilla’s office oversees California elections, including the Democratic primary on Tuesday. “We don’t want a repeat of 2016 and we sure as fuck don’t want what happened in Iowa,” Estrada told fellow Sanders supporters Saturday morning during a visit to a caucus site, according to another video she posted. “[McCurdy] flipped out because it was really late at night and we were in front of his house. We know what they do and we’re trying to keep them honest.”

“I don't think it is especially the case, by the way,” Sanders said, to which Buttigieg replied: “That's just not true. Look, people know the way your supporters treat them.”

This woman is really a terrible person.

Democrats are now using fear and intimidation tactics on their own. Priceless.

He doesn’t mind the violence and intimidation. His agenda only works with it.

No on Bernie

How nice of them to warn first BernieIsToxic

It is a cult.

Reminds me of those videos where Scientologists harass escaped former members at their homes. For people soooo ostensibly concerned about justice, they show little empathy and revel in bullying.

They are BernieBrownshirts

These people have no idea how repulsive this is, and the harm they’re doing to their candidate.

What are they going to do if he wins and then can’t get anything passed?

keithellison and RepJayapal still need more proof?

Too many of Bernie’s most fanatical supporters are simply left wing versions of right wing tea party fanatics.

Who cares? She’s practicing her 1A rights.

they so gangster! just think. The people are fed up.

. Sanders' supporters intimidating or threatening people... Another staple of his campaign. The only difference between them and Trump's sycophants is the lettering on the cap.

boo fuckin hoo

Yet another example of the Bernie Bros toxicity. Bernie Supporters are Trump Supporters 2.0 ala 2016. Bernie is becoming the new Trump, slowly as this campaign continues. The lack of care or concern from Bernie about his fans is shocking and echoes Trump with his fans. Hmm..🤔

now that the Nevada caucus is over. who cares

Bernie Sanders roils Democrats over Fidel Castro remarks, a flashpoint of fears over his nominationSen. Bernie Sanders' apparent defense of parts of Fidel Castro’s dictatorial reign in Cuba is roiling the big-tent party filled with anxiety over embracing him. No its not. Only corporate elites who hate Bernie believe that. IMO BernieSanders is so far left, that he's a combination of being a Communist/Fascist/Socialist. He's a frightening POS! National Socialist German Workers' Party, referred to in English as the Nazi Party. People are being stupid, small-brained extremists here. You can compliment a person for doing a good thing even when they're a bad person doing bad things. Even Castro did some good shit in his time. The only person who never does anything good ever is Trump. That's the ballgame.

Bill de Blasio: Bernie Sanders ‘speaks to the profound change people want’NYC Mayor de Blasio says 'voting is emotional,' and that in 2016 'we lost Democratic voters to Trump, we lost a lot of people who stayed home — people of color, younger voters, progressive voters — Bernie can bring all that back.' I don’t think de Blasio would recognize leadership if it hit him squarely in his square face...he is a follower, who will fall for anything. Deblasio is a racist He's not wrong...
