So how did Bernie staffers get Culinary Union buttons, if not from someone in the Union?

[snagglepuss]

Either someone low on the totem pole in the Union thought this was a good idea and handed out buttons to Bernie's people or the Union gives out buttons to whoever asks for one.

Whatever happened this isn't subterfuge as the Bernie staffers were talking to union members in plain sight.

It sounds to me like the Union has responded the way it has because they have taken a position of being neutral and they are concerned this incident undermines that.

1. OMG

get you as many as you need. I hear they're selling like hotcakes so you gotta act fast.

2. Sanders camp went into the union workers lunchrooms. That was wrong.

12. If someone in the Union knew what Bernie's people wanted to do and gave them buttons

why is it wrong? Someone messed up but I don't think it was Bernie's people who, if the reports are true, were walking around in the open talking to union members. This kind of behavior is hardly the actions of people who know that what they are doing is wrong.

3. Now how are we supposed to keep up with contradictory excuses?

We were just informed that the entire story was a fabrication by the union. Now you're saying they had buttons, but it's okay because you think they must have come from someone in the union?

Come on. Can't you guys agree on one story and stick with it?

6. Unlike Hillary supporters, Bernie supporters don't do talking points. One Bernie supporter's opinion

may differ from another's opinion.

7. Ah, I see

As long as one sticks to the general principal: Bernie, gospel truth; rest of the world: liars.

Gotcha.

4. 'We were only following orders.'

How excuse-y.

[snagglepuss]

14. Who said that? I didn't. I asked who gave them the Union buttons

because they got them somewhere and I very much doubt that there are shady people standing on corners in Las Vegas hawking counterfeit Culinary Union buttons.

It sounds to me like Bernie's people were given the go-ahead by someone in the Union who didn't clear it with his or hers higher ups.

5. Better question.

Do we know if anyone was outed as a masquerader? There's literally no details on this except hearsay from someone who campaigned with Clinton and just so happens to head up the union in question. Let's see some proper evidence here.

10. This ^^

But I am just a mere conspiracy theorist here

11. Funny how we all become that when it's our candidate facing the firing line. eom

13. If that's all the evidence there is, then, yes, I would like some more. nt

16. Bernie runs a slave labor knockoff shop in China

...staffed by smuggled child workers from Bangladesh.
