Supporters of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. are “gelatinous 100-year-olds.”

Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg is “a bloodless asexual.”

“The gayest thing about him is he descends from an ethnic group that’s like a little toy dog,” Ms. A’Lee Frost said.

When Senator Elizabeth Warren’s name came up, the crowd made the sound of a snake hissing. She had accused Senator Bernie Sanders of saying that a woman could not beat President Trump, and so she is a snake.

“Yes, my sssssoldiers,” Mr. Menaker said.

Former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s run appalls them. “Beat him so badly that this midget gremlin won’t even have a shot even with a trillion dollars,” Mr. Menaker said.

“Kill him,” someone shouted from the audience. These were jokes, of course. Everyone was laughing.

1. I guess it's part of their strategy to win Pete's supporters....nt.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. If "Let the hate feed you," is their slogan,

not only will they NOT pick up Pete's supporters, they will be consumed by their hatred. They sound little better than butt-trumpets.

24. Good. More people will see it.

[MerryBlooms]

31. Good. Their homophobia and hate speech needs to be shared far and wide

until they either apologize and have a change of heart, or are shamed and starved of funds until their podcast is out of existence. The hate and homophobia they're spewing has NO defense. ZERO. Abhorrent behavior encouraging hate. I cannot understand or respect anyone defending that garbage.

3. Chapo traphouse are complete

assholes.

[showblue22]

4. What is Chapo traphouse?

I have no idea what that is.

[RandySF]

6. It's a podcast.

[showblue22]

10. Thank you .

It must be a pro Bernie Pod eh?

[sweetloukillbot]

12. The Dirtbag Left

Sanders supporting trolls with a very popular podcast.

5. DU rec...

inb4 the whataboutism.

7. Standard smear strategy

can't you at least debate policy not smear of "some supporter somewhere..."

On Tuesday the story of this weekend may be changed ... We will see. Why can't we actually respect each other rather than use Republican attack smears?

[showblue22]

11. Is it a smear or is it true?

Facts are not smears.

[jimlup]

13. It doesn't matter if it is true

the way Sanders supporters are treated hear is the same childish behavior and it isn't about the candidate. Get a grip.

[jimlup]

25. Here here! /nt

[frazzled]

15. I guess you didn't read the article

And the Sanders campaign maintains a close relationship with the podcast. His senior adviser, David Sirota, and his national press secretary, Briahna Joy Gray, have also been on the podcast. At the Iowa show, a Sanders volunteer stood at the door with fliers and pins to hand out and an email list to gather names.

It’s not “some supporter somewhere”—the Sanders campaign not only is aware and tolerates, but collaborates. So you can’t clutch your pearls about unfair assumptions.

[jimlup]

17. It is still "about someone who knows someone"

give me a break and stop being so divisive.

[showblue22]

26. It looks like it's approved by the campaign.

Don't you think it's the campaigns responsibility not to align themselves with such a divisive pod cast?

[TwilightZone]

28. The campaign has a close relationship with the hosts.

Nice try, though.

[MerryBlooms]

8. wtf?

[George II]

9. I wouldn't expect anything less. Pretty sad, isn't it?

[stonecutter357]

14. The Bro's are going to AT you Bro !

[HarlanPepper]

19. The bros are finally being vetted

Didn’t happen last time. It’s happening now.

[NCProgressive]

16. Utterly stupid

[Hekate]

20. "Bloodless Asexual"? Sounds like somebody made a pass and got his hand slapped. As a woman...

... I recognize this form of insult.

As for the rest: pure Steve Bannon, pure Donald Trump, pure bile. I wouldn't call them "fellow Democrats" for anything.

[Jedi Guy]

33. Yeah, pretty sure the "bloodless asexual" is equivalent to "ice queen" or "frost queen."

The former is homophobic, the latter is misogynistic, and both are just gross and hateful.

What kills me about these chucklefucks is that they think they're the good guys. And they no doubt think they're kind, compassionate, upstanding individuals. I guess anything goes when the person(s) one is talking about are enemies of the revolution.

[LizBeth]

21. We really have to get beyond the dismissal of Sanders supporters. No other campaign has this issue.

It comes form the top and how the top talks about others. It is totally void of respect.

[renate]

23. They seem nice

Good to see that we’ll be united against Trump, the living existential threat to our country.

[mr_lebowski]

27. That's exactly how The Jimmy Dore Show is (a comedian I had the misfortune of catching

a couple weeks ago due to offer of free ticket and nothing better to do)

There was WAY more hate towards Democrats than there was for Trump in his act, and the sold-out crowd lapped it up, did the ssssssss thing, etc. And MAN did they hate Nancy and Hillary.

Bernie, however, was their God. And they loved them some Tulsi, too.

I left as soon as I could, well before the end.

[evertonfc]

29. A very large segment of Sanders supporters

are not Democrats. Tom Perez got a mess on his hands.

[ramen]

37. Democrat who supports Sanders checking in:

This behavior is fucking stupid. Why any supporter would act this way is beyond me. None of us should tolerate it, in my opinion.

[Bleacher Creature]

30. Geez, what a crazy coincidence!!

I mean, it's always just some isolated individual from the same campaign. You don't really see this with any other candidate.

Is it possible (gasp!) that maybe the candidate himself is doing something to encourage this crap???

[NYMinute]

32. Horrible

but on par with a blind, devotional atmosphere.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

34. I am asexual

But I am not bloodless.

[SunSeeker]

35. I don't want anyone who talks like that ANYWHERE NEAR the White House.

[Nitram]

36. Ok, maybe some of Sander's supporters are homophobic. I doubt most of them are. I hope most of them

aren't. I wish I knew what percent of Sander's supporter's are "Bernie Bros" with little empathy for anybody but their chosen candidate.

[Capt. America]

38. Stay classy you monsters. No better than Trump.
