Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumWatch for it. Hillary fans posting Trump-loving protesters, calling them hateful Bernie Bros.
Pretty sad, IMO.
We know what Bernie supporters look like and what Trump supporters look like, don't we?
These look like Trump boys to me.

Couple Bernie supporters in there, at least. Dan Merica (the source of these) is reporting it as a general anti-Democratic party rally in East LA. I don't think Trump has many Latino supporters waving Mexican flags. Looks like there's some Brown Beret involvemen, or at least someone snagging their eponymous articlet:

(1,163 posts)That a smidgen among them have a free disposable sticker applied does not support the Hillary fan claim that Bernie Supporters are behind this action.
A little nuance, please?

(8,636 posts)The protesters -- some of whom carried pro-Bernie Sanders signs -- spanned the spectrum in terms of their key issues: Some were protesting Clinton's refusal so far to release her speaking engagement transcripts and her ties to Wall Street, while others took issue with Clinton's "super-predator" remarks in 1994, and the crime bill her then-president husband signed that year. Others also headed to Clinton's rally to protest her involvement in the 2009 Honduras coup, and to accuse her of pandering to the Hispanic community.
Maritza Galvez, a 21-year-old student at the college, carried a sign that read, We only matter when its Cinco de Mayo. A man, who was leading a crowd, shouted into a loud speaker, "Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party have to know that they cannot come to Los Angeles, occupy Mexico on Cinco de Mayo, and think that we are not going to come out and denounce them!
Other signs read: Black Lives Matter Not Super-predators, Hillary Do You Friends Make $12 or $15? Viva Bernie! NAFTA? IRAQ WAR? HONDURAS? Hmmm? Release the Transcripts, CALIFORNIA WHERE THE CLINTON & TRUMP SCAM WILL BE EXPOSED," and Welcome to LA Where Hispandering to Chicanos Doesnt Work!!!
.......and I love this one:
One sign specifically stood out: It was a giant photo of the Clintons with GOP front-runner Donald Trump at his Florida wedding -- an obvious nod that Clinton's relationship with Trump was not always so acrimonious.

Kinda surprised that Hillary wasn't wearing a sombrero and eating a taco bowl while garbling out some Peggy Hill-style pseudo-spanish. "me am tu abuela and yo keero respecty-o!"

(812 posts)...your candidate is on the wrong side of history as often as not.
...your candidate's good friend from a year ago is now a supposed arch enemy.
...your candidate is suddenly touting the support from those who a few months ago were "enemies you're most proud of".
...and rude protesters, some of whom are Bernie supporters, is the best argument you can come up with against Bernie (but just keep generating new evidence and maybe it won't look like lame, tired rehash).

Surely they can't be brown, because they'd never disrespect their abuela like that!
