Who else finds it funny that the Hillarians simply won't admit Berners shut Trump down?

I keep seeing post after post downplaying Bernie supporters' role in shutting down Orange Hitler.

Couldn't possibly be! He's not popular in Chicago! There were too many PoC in the crowd for it to be mostly Bernie supporters, etc. They're trying to give Hillary credit (except I've seen NO video of anyone chanting her name or holding her signs).

I even saw one post chiding Berniers for shutting Trump down as if Trump were some paragon of Free Speech.

The fact is that it WAS mostly Berners shutting it down - along with their Occupy friends. I know it wasn't ONLY Bernie supporters. Duh. It is just so obvious that it MOSTLY was his supporters or others sympathetic to his cause - like Occupiers and other miniorities groups.

I found this on the Occupy page:

Bernie had a rally in the Chicago suburbs today. There were several coordinated events going on. While I don't think EVERYONE there is a Bernie supporter, I think it's safe to say based on the other events going on, with the nearby rally, and the march to the Polls they had going on, it's likely to have been a big help.

Good Lord. How can one break through if the reciepient won't even believe videos clearly showing the majority of the crowd chanting Bernie's name?

3. I really have lost a lot of respect for the Hillary crowd over this one.

Bernie supporters, BLM, and who know what other groups went in to protest Trump's hate message and the Hillary folks think Trump is right? WTF is wrong with them?

7. Well a group

That claims you are sexist because you treat women as equals, do you really want to know answer to your question.

8. Yes.

Add in Occupy - their supporters helped organize this, too.

12. Like their candidate

they'll do anything. No limit. There is no goal beyond putting Hill into the White House. That's all, all, ALL that matters. American people be damned.

14. I think you're right-it's about power.

4. I think it's great they are doing this.

They could have gone the other way and said see "Bernie Bros so mean."

13. LOL!

6. They tell you it can't be done; you show them it being done; & they refuse to believe their eyes.

some remedial education may be needed here ["Patience, grasshopper."].

9. Why are you so determined to push this narrative?

Here are 2 links on what look to be the origins of this protest, and neither of them says a thing about Bernie Sanders. That doesn't mean there weren't Bernie Sanders supporters among a group of college age politically active people.

10. There was a large crowd chanting "Bernie, Bernie, Bernie"

True, the majority of the protesters appeared to be Black Lives Matter, Hispanics, and Muslims. But the Bernie people were definitely there and seemed well represented in the signs and chants department.

11. The origins of the protest are murky

The links you provided about the Stop Trump - Chicago coalition led me to stories about them as a coalition of student groups at the university that planned to demonstrate outside the rally but not to infiltrate it or shut it down. So it isn't at all clear who the people were who did just that -- whether a faction of the student protest or outsiders.

And, of course, the people demonstrating outside after the rally was shut down may have been the original protesters mixed with other groups.

Organizers of Stop Trump Chicago say more than 60 groups and 100 student organizers have pledged to gather at UIC’s Quad at 4:30 p.m. before marching to the UIC Pavilion ahead of Trump’s 6 p.m. rally. . . .

“The message we want to get across is that the anti-immigrant, xenophobic hate message is not welcome in Illinois,” said Lawrence Benito, executive director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, one of the groups that will be participating Friday. “We’re planning a peaceful demonstration of our displeasure.”

At some recent Trump rallies, protesters and other observers have been forcibly removed, sometimes with Trump’s own encouragement, so Chicago organizers met Tuesday to discuss safety measures. However, they do not plan to enter the event itself.

“We do want to make it clear that {shutting down the event is} not one of our goals,” UIC student Usama Ibrahim said. “{We do not want to interfere with the ability of interested persons to hear what the presidential front-runner has to say.”
