Nevada Dem Chair tries to tweet about baseball, is mobbed again by pro-Bernie conspiracy theorists

[Cali_Democrat]

Last week, Nevada Democratic State Party Chairwoman Roberta Lange was mobbed by harassment and death threats from irate Bernie Sanders fans who suspected her of handing the state to Hillary Clinton. On Saturday, Lange, a Mariners fan, tried to tweet lightheartedly about baseball. Guess how that went?

Politifact thoroughly evaluated the claims of fraud and misconduct at the Nevada convention and determined them to be unfounded. At the same time, rumors that irate Sanders supporters were throwing chairs—rumors that we also reported—are likely inaccurate too. (One person was definitely seen holding a chair aloft and advancing towards the stage, but he was surrounded by other people who made him put the chair down.)

The event, then, was a disaster by any standard definition, but it didn’t represent, say, the election being “stolen.” That hasn’t stopped a select group of people from continuing to be dead certain that Lange, whose post in the Democratic party is a volunteer position and who manages a restaurant, is the new center of a sinister, Clinton-supporting conspiracy. Which is why this is happening, when Lange had some thoughts about sports:

1. She's made her bed. nt

[riversedge]

4. Do you know how vile they sound?-and you approve. Shame on YOU!

[roguevalley]

12. I approve of not allowing shit to stand without saying things. If she wants to

have a public life, have integrity. They don't sound vile. They sound pissed. Imagine your vote going up in smoke and then tell me you would just sit and take it. We're not taking it silently anymore. She is getting called out for her slag.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

19. I do approve of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, yes.

Why don't you?

[hack89]

5. So you support this?

you think it should be the norm?

[silvershadow]

6. No I do not. But I also don't want to hear her whining. nt

[R B Garr]

9. She was posting about baseball. But if not, she can't complain

about stalking and death threats?! Really?

[silvershadow]

13. She can complain all she wants. If she's not prepared for the fallout of her actions, perhaps

the internet isn't the place for her?

[riversedge]

2. Whow-the Sanders mob fans in action. Sanders needs to publicly apologize for their behavior1

[silvershadow]

7. We don't know that these are real supporters. For all I know they could be Brock's mob. nt

[timmymoff]

3. Let her lie in it.

She lied everywhere else so far.

[FuzzyRabbit]

8. If she's a Mariners fan she can't be all bad,

but someone should tell her that Junior is retired.

10. Roberta Lange is instrumental in getting Dems elected from NV to congress

which in turn gives a Dem president legislators that are friendly to his/her agenda. She does this voluntarily.

What the fuck has Bernie Sanders ever done to get Dems elected to congress?

[silvershadow]

14. That may well be. But then again, I don't know what kind of "Democrats" those are.

Bernie is one of the few traditional, FDR/Labor Democrats left, imho. He's certainly more of a Democrat than ANY Third Wayer.

[Yavin4]

17. Harry Reid is one of them

Or would you rather have Sharon Angle as a Senator of NV.

[silvershadow]

18. As I said, I don't know. But if they are Third Way, they need to go and form their own

party instead of of cannibalizing mine.

11. 9 times out of 10 the "egg" twitter accounts are hardcore trolls...

[reformist2]

15. You mean you can't run a convention like a show trial and get away with it???

[BootinUp]

16. Bunch of fuckin bullies. nt
