Last Nail In The Coffin for Sanders and his Berniebros

Here I present photographic evidence of Bernie HIMSELF posing as a union member in Cedar Rapids last year, likely with the intent to infiltrate the union and spread his propaganda.

Does this man have no shame?

Sanders campaign just crossed Nevada’s most powerful union

The Bernie Sanders campaign is in the doghouse with the most powerful union of a key battleground state.

Leaders of the deeply influential Culinary Union in Nevada on Thursday accused Sanders staffers of posing as union employees in order to gain access to worker dining rooms in hotels along the Las Vegas strip.

“We are disappointed and offended. It’s completely inappropriate for any campaign to attempt to mislead Culinary Union members, especially at their place of work,” union Secretary-Treasurer Geoconda Arguello-Kline said in a statement. “We strongly condemn anyone falsifying their affiliation with the Culinary Union in order to gain access to properties and we will cooperate with casinos and hotels so that this matter is fully resolved.”

Let me show you this article:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/28/politics/bernie-sanders-union-nevada-culinary-union/index.html

Weaver confirmed that the Sanders staffers were wearing the culinary union button "in solidarity with people but they were also wearing Bernie paraphernalia."

Emilia Pablo, Sanders's state communications director, told CNN on Thursday that no one from the campaign is misrepresenting who they are in casinos, but that they are wearing Culinary union buttons. What's more, Pablo said she was surprised the union came out so strongly against their campaign.

"It is surprising because we have been building a positive relationship with them from the moment that we go to the ground," Pablo said. "We have always thought we have had a positive relationship with them and for them to come out so strongly against us and to go to the press first, that surprises me."


buttons, not IDs. But don't let facts get in your way

Sanders campaign workers visited four unionized hotels, The Rio, Paris, The Mirage and Planet Hollywood, and by wearing the union’s iconic yellow button, accessed employee dining rooms to speak with and give Sanders literature to workers.

Did the Sanders campaign breach a secure area by using stolen or counterfeit proximity badges? Seriously, man. If all you have is this and the alleged misappropriation of organizational logos, then this thing is already over.
