Class act: Biden standing up FOR Bernie

[MelissaB]

I don't care who you're supporting, attacks like this against a man who could be the first Jewish President are disgusting and beyond the pale. Hatred and bigotry have no place in America — and it's up to all of us to root out these evils wherever they're found.

1. Joe is a class act, agreed

But I would hope it wouldn't take a real class act in order to condemn something like this

[LizBeth]

5. I would think the same with Cenk misogyny or Rogan racism, but color me surprised.

Some can't take that step if it serves them.

39. I have done that a couple times myself. Funny conditioned us.

25. True. Bernie's Campaign, of course, Would Deny That Biden Did What He Did...

And claim that Bernie is the only one taking a stand against such harassment:

[Mme. Defarge]

[ehrnst]

[GetRidOfThem]

24. Way to go, Joe!

I found out about my own Jewish ancestry through 23 and Me...

[mopinko]

26. ya know. i had not thought of it, at all. but hows come

everybody has been wringing their hands about the sexism that might bite us in the ass in nov since day one, but i havent heard a single person wonder if anti-semitism night be a factor.
i hadnt even noticed.

granted the worst of those who would care about that are on the other side, and the same could be said of sexists. but we have plenty of both on our side, ranging from stupid assholes, to unconscious bias among people who wish they were better.
at best it is a sliver on our side. but arent we in a panic about every wobble sliver?

hmmm

[warmfeet]

28. I will be very proud to vote for either candidate.

Damn, I really wanted Elizabeth Warren. I am a proud Democrat however, and will vote for the nominee with great pride.

I just love Democrats.

[ramen]

29. Good on Biden. We should all call out hate where it appears.

Otherwise we may as well vote republican.

[Bucky]

31. Russians attacking democracy, nazis attacking Bernie, vegans attacking Biden

We live in dark times, my friends. Dark times indeed.

[marble falls]

32. Class act.

[SayItLoud]

35. Food for thought;

While a Nazi in the flesh like the scum that unfurled the swastika is identifiable the online racists could be Russian or other intruders sowing the hate posts to have us fighting amongst ourselves. How do we know the difference between an actual supporter of a candidate who posts despicable hate and an intruder who wants to cause division? I check number of followers, report, and block. If someone has a suggestion for dealing with this, please share.

[BlueIdaho]

36. You Go Joe!

THIS is the absolute least we should expect from a candidate for President. I’m so proud to be a Democrat right now.

[Polybius]

37. Very good statement

I liked it when Sanders and Biden were close, and rarely attacked each other. I hope they team up by the convention and work to defeat Trump.

[NurseJackie]

38. Did Bernie acknowledge this? Did express any gratitude or appreciation?

[Cha]

40. Kick!

[NurseJackie]

41. And not a word of thanks from Bernie. Hmm.

Silence. Interesting.

[Cha]

42. Too busy
