Man Unfurls Nazi Flag At Bernie Sanders Rally

A man high in the stands behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during his Thursday night campaign rally in Phoenix surprised the crowd by unfurling a large red flag emblazoned with a swastika.

Sanders was alerted to the flag when the cheers at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum turned to boos shortly after he began speaking.

He turned around after a supporter had grabbed the flag from below and yanked it from the man, who was then escorted out.

“Whoever it was, I think they’re a little outnumbered tonight,” Sanders told the crowd.

Guess some people just can't help but be assholes.

Probably not a Russian one, though, but a 'Murican one. Sadly.

On his way to the next tRump rally, got lost, and didn't know what to think of an actual large crowd. Probably didn't help that he couldn't find any of his fellow tRump groupies
