Working Families Party Staffers Face Harassment After Warren Endorsement

Working Families Party Staff Face Harassment After Warren Endorsement | Time

In the days since the Working Families Party endorsed Senator Elizabeth Warren for President on Monday, staffers at the progressive group have received hundreds of furious messages, including several using racial slurs against black staffers and at least one celebrating a junior employee’s rape.

Maurice Mitchell, the National Director of the Working Families Party (WFP) and an organizer with the Movement for Black Lives, received messages calling him a “half man” and “Uncle Tom,” and telling him to “go back to his slave masters,” according to emails and tweets reviewed by TIME.

This was almost surely a tiny minority of Sanders supporters, plus some possible bots and Trump agitators, and they do not represent the whole. But it seems more than coincidental that a disproportionate amount of this kind of toxic behavior originates from supporters of two presidential candidates: Trump and Sanders.

In the days since, WFP staffers were inundated with messages calling them “liberal sellouts,” “corporate frauds,” and “just as corrupt as the DNC,” often accompanied with the hashtag #BernieorBust. It was not immediately clear how many of the messages were sent by real people, how many were sent by right-wing agitators, or how many were sent by bots.

There's something strangely familiar about all of this!

Is there any proof these are actually being sent by Bernie or Trump supporters and not a Warren supporter looking to get some sympathy or being sent by members of the Working Family party looking for attention ?

Where were Bill and Hillary when these alleged threats were made...?

If only I had already addressed this point in the OP!

Now would you like to respond to the actual issue, the harassment itself?

These tactics are strangely familiar - I guess all those Hillary supporters have a lot of time on their hands these days.

Hillbots gotta Hillbot...

It’s tasteless and uncalled for. I would hope Warren supporters would of been better than this although typical of hardcore leftist to talk trash about anyone not agreeing with them.

 

[3leftsdoo]

If it's not Hillbots - or Bill and Hillary themselves - making these threats, I have a question:

Are the Warren supporters merely lying about the threats, or making the threats while pretending to be Bernie supporters?

Or both?

How deep does the rot go in the Warren camp?

I mean hunting lodge...

 

[Hypothetical]

why... would Trump supporters have anything to do with this?

You misspelled "Sanders." And your deflections are just making my point for me.

 

[Fletch]

They wouldnt. The OP just needs to shoehorn blame onto Trump whenever he can no matter how absurd it is to do so.

 

[Chillfolks]

You haven’t shown any proof this was Sanders Supporters, given Warren’s history of playing loose with her heritage for personal gain I don’t think framing Sanders supporters for personal gain is above her either.

More deflections by you. :lol: Care to actually the topic? Or maybe you don't mind a little disgusting harassment.

It should surprise nobody that non-Christians are immoral, unethical and mean.

Prove with supporting documentation that the trolls were nonchristians. If you cannot, your claim will be taken as a violation of the Ninth Commandment. :thumbs:

Reading is not one of your strengths apparently

It’s tasteless and uncalled for.

Now that we’ve cleared that up do you have any proof to back up your claims these tasteless comments are from Sanders or Trump supporters instead of Warren?

Oh no, Chill, you have misidentified which one of us refuses to read properly. In post #11 I called out your dodge, and now you are getting defensive at getting your hand caught in the cookie jar. :thumbs:

 

[Logician Man]

It should surprise nobody that non-Christians are immoral, unethical and mean.

Yet you come here on a daily basis and defend a man who is immoral, unethical, and mean who professes to be a Christian. Why is it you hold different people to different standards on the same moral issues ?

I’ve dodged nothing, you are the one who has yet to provide any proof of your accusations. Nut up or shut up.

Or maybe they are all coming from the Russians who continue with their campaign for dividing this country.

 

[Drawdown]

Sorry, but I suspect someone associated with the WFP that nobody was ever heard of is behind some if not most of it.

Why would a Bernie supporter says this when Bernie supports the very same ideas as Liz Warren?

Not sure why you're choosing to display this kind of attitude, but it's just making my point about excessive aggression for me. :shrug:

I just could not bring myself to vote for a lying, hateful, racist, baby-killing hoe who despised patriotic Americans and called them deplorables.
