Former press secretary to Bernie Sanders and Democratic strategist Symone Sanders mocked and dismissed a Donald Trump supporter ....
“I’m sorry, hate crimes and protesting are not the same things…” Sanders responded. “A hate crime is a crime that is committed against somebody because of their religion, because of what they look like, because of their sexual orientation. That’s not the same thing as protesting.”.....
“What do you say to the people who dragged a poor white guy out of a car and beat him?” asked Higbie.

“Oh my goodness, poor white people! Please!” she responded. “Oh my– stop. Stop, Carl.”.....


capture-1Former press secretary to Bernie Sanders and Democratic strategist Symone Sanders mocked and dismissed a Donald Trump supporter who was beat up by a Chicago mob on CNN Monday because he was white.

Sanders took on Trump for his comments Sunday that his supporters should stop committing hate crimes in his name, saying he needed to go further. “The audacity of privileged white people to sit on national television and question if hate crimes are happening, to just flippantly say ‘stop it, it’s not okay,’ and not put any action behind those words, it’s appalling to me. It’s actually appalling.”

Trump supporter Carl Higbie retorted that there was violence on both sides, and that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama hadn’t bothered to denounce the violence at anti-Trump rallies. “I’m sorry, hate crimes and protesting are not the same things…” Sanders responded. “A hate crime is a crime that is committed against somebody because of their religion, because of what they look like, because of their sexual orientation. That’s not the same thing as protesting.”


“What do you say to the people who dragged a poor white guy out of a car and beat him?” asked Higbie.

“Oh my goodness, poor white people! Please!” she responded. “Oh my– stop. Stop, Carl.”

“That’s not protesting!” Higbie said. “Dragging someone out of their car are beating them is not protesting.”

Sanders didn’t seem so sure of that. “There has never been an acceptable form of protest…” she responded. “We can’t call for people to be peaceful when the rhetoric that has been used is not peaceful, when people don’t feel peaceful in their home.”....



Progressives: When my legal right to self defense empowers me to kill you according to law for your form of protest, you form of protest has gone over the line. Just in case you weren't clear.
 
. “There has never been an acceptable form of protest…”
Ignorant response.

“We can’t call for people to be peaceful when the rhetoric that has been used is not peaceful, when people don’t feel peaceful in their home.”....[/I]
Wait, you can't call for people to not behave violently (destroy property, assault, murder, etc.), because someone else SAID something you think is "not peaceful"?

I'd prefer the white-rural ignorance over this SJW ignorance any day...
 
I can see Sanders point - that blacks beating up a white guy because he voted for Trump is a political act, because he is not being beat up because he is white, he is being beat up because he voted for Trump. So Sanders would say it is a political protest. A white guy that did not vote for Trump is safe. Therefore no discrimination here. OTOH some members of the alt right would claim that all blacks need to sit in the back of the bus (or whatever) irrespective of their political beliefs. this would be clearly racist.
how interesting...

A black guy beating up a white guy because the white guy voted Trump is not a "political protest", it is flat out assault and an act of violence.

yes it is assault and an act of violence and it is a protest. two whites beating up a black because he voted for Clinton would be the mirror image. OTOH two whites beating up a black because he is black would be racist. i THINK that is Sanders point.
 
Anyone that thinks Bernie Sanders is going to be a big supporter or trump or is simply going to go away is delusional at best.
