has bernie sanders

[heaven05]

issued a definitive statement on the nazis/kluxers/white supremacists all in VA? I've looked and can't find much, maybe it's just me???

[Bradshaw3]

1. What did your search for all Congress people show?

Did they all issue a statement or did you just do a search on one of them for some reason?

[heaven05]

2. My question has to do with a certain...news prominent individual.....

past Presidential candidate for "all of us" candidate so my reason for my "search" is my business...my question is every ones business, even yours...next!!!!!!

[Me.]

4. You Have Every Right To Ask

The response of PBO, HRC and others have been prominent but had to look regarding your question.

[heaven05]

21. yeah, one did have to look

whereas not with other 'prominent' personages.....but not surprising or unexpected.

[Bradshaw3]

8. So you had an agenda. Ok got it

[heaven05]

19. no

you have nothing and your agenda is known by many, many here because you have made it obvious...... Thank god.

[sheshe2]

12. I searched for my Senators response...

22. Sanders is a leader of the Democratic Party Senate Caucus. What he says and does...

...is representative of the Democratic Party, as in "Democratic Underground".

Plus, being one of only a few Jewish Senators, it is important to know if/what he said about the racist, anti-Semitic events of Saturday is important.

Interesting that you seem concerned about what others think and say.

32. How many members of Congress ran for the Democratic nomination last year? n/t

[Me.]

3. Yes

“An activist group founded by Bernie Sanders is attempting to raise money off of the deaths in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Our Revolution, the political action committee formed from Sanders’ unsuccessful 2016 campaign, sent out an email to subscribers condemning white nationalists and the terror attack that killed Heather Heyer. The email used her name and the names of Jay Cullen and Berke Bate, the two Virginia State Troopers killed in a helicopter crash while monitoring the events in the city, with an appeal for donations at the bottom.

The email, signed by Nina Turner, the president of the organization, started, “Yesterday an act of domestic terrorism took the lives of Heather Heyer, a fellow Bernie supporter and coworker in the movement for social justice, and two police officers, Pilot Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bate. Many others are suffering from injuries. Make no mistake, this was an intentional act of hatred by white nationalists. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this act of terrorism and their families.”…cont…

5. "some responsibilty"

okay.... Thanks for the link...deleted his tweets huh.....okay..... Was just curious since this place has been, last few day very quiet in that area on that question I asked. Have a good one

[Me.]

6. Serious Mis-Step On Nina's Part I'd Say

[Bradshaw3]

9. So you found out there was a reponse

But it's not good enough. So if that group is to blame for trading on this tragedy, isn't this thread doing the same thing in pursuit of another agenda?

[lapucelle]

10. "Isn't this thread doing the same thing?"

Only for those who see no distinction between asking a question and asking for money.

[Bradshaw3]

13. Except that it was not just asking a question as was pointed out

[lapucelle]

16. Actually, that's exactly and explicitly what the thread does.

"Has Bernie Sanders issued a definitive statement on the nazis/kluxers/white supremacists all in VA? I've looked and can't find much, maybe it's just me???"

People can ignore reality if they like, but it's ill-advised to expect others to do so.

[LanternWaste]

29. You seem to be confused that "pointed out" and "inferred" posses the same meaning.

You seem to be confused that "pointed out" and "inferred" (whether accurately or not) posses the same meaning. They don't.

Hope that helps!

[Me.]

11. The Blame The Messenger Meme

Is such a cliche

[Bradshaw3]

15. Unfairly placing blame and hidden agendas are also cliches

[Me.]

17. No One Has PLaced Blame

That which has been mentioned in this thread are facts. Perhaps yours is the agenda.

[sheshe2]

7. I feel that tRump bears full responsibility...

for the rise in hate groups across this country including VA.

[Eliot Rosewater]

18. Bernie aint foolin me no more...that for sure

[heaven05]

20. Some people

are just sooooooo obvious. They stand out and have stood out like a sore thumb. For a long time now to the point they can be recognized by the obfuscation they ALWAYS use. I have learned to laugh and move on having had my humor for the day. They are just so damn obvious in their agenda.

[George II]

24. I wonder why the tweets were deleted? Is it true they were trying to raise money from this?

[Me.]

25. Can't Really Say About The Tweets

Though I would guess they were so there would be no equivocation. As to the fundraiser email, to the best of my knowledge, yes it was sent.

[murielm99]

14. Both my Senators issued a statement.

I didn't have to look all over to find it, either.

I am proud of my Senators, Duckworth and Durbin.

[mcar]

23. Jeez, even Marco Rubio made a strong statement

[potone]

26. If you check twitter...

you will see that he made more than one statement denouncing the marchers and Trump's statements about them. It is very easy to find his tweets, just search his name on Twitter.

[WIProgressive88]

30. Yup.

27. It's you.

[heaven05]

28. After due reflection

on my question and looking at dates, times and responses.....no it was NOT me. And then fundraising off this tragedy, even before all the victims of the nazis were known by name? Unforgivable. No, not me....period....

[NurseJackie]

31. Yeah. I saw that. Fundraising off any tragedy is a bit unseemly and opportunistic...

... I wonder why any politician would think such a thing is acceptable.
