Related: About this forumConvention delegates now getting harassing phone calls.
Longtime Democratic National Committee member and superdelegate Bob Mulholland wrote a letter to Sanders last week excoriating the candidate for not calling out his supporters for their bullying of superdelegates.
Mulholland said he has not received any threats directly but has fielded complaints from other delegates who said they have received harassing emails, Facebook postings and phone calls including one to a woman at 10:30 p.m. and another that a 12-year-old child picked up.
Society has been trying to deal with High School bullies and the same Rule should apply to your campaign and your supporters, wrote Mulholland, who supports Clinton. Professionally, campaign staff and representatives should be the ones calling delegates.
A 12 year old child answering the phone at home should not be hearing threats, he added.

(9,086 posts)Mulholland gained national attention for involvement in the Bruce Hershenson vs. Barbara Boxer campaign. Mulholland leaked a rumor that Hershenson was into porn and frequented a porn shop. Mulholland was fired by the Democratic party, but then rehired weeks after Boxer won. He is also known for his work to block a 2007 censure resolution against California Senator Dianne Feinstein for her vote to support the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey as United States Attorney General without a vote. He is quoted as saying "It is going to be thrown out and rejected. Sometimes people can't anticipate or can't understand the big picture."[2]

Classy guy. Explain to me again why his vote should count 10,000 times more than mine?
