Bernie Sanders supporters, known as Bernie Bros and alternately Antifa, have unleashed a wave of hatred and violence for the past 4-plus years but liberals ignored it because it was all directed at conservatives. That changed recently when the Culinary Workers in Nevada refused to endorse Sanders and his Bros sent mean tweets. Suddenly liberals are outraged at the hate coming from Sanders supporters, but former Rep. and domestic abuser Keith Ellison has his back claiming he can’t think of one time a Bernie Bro did anything bad. Republican Rep. Steve Scalise gave him a reminder.
This must have been a drunk tweet:
I have never seen @BernieSanders supporters being unusually mean or rude. Can someone send me an example of a “Bernie Bro” being bad. Also, are we holding all candidates responsible for the behavior of some of their supporters? Waiting to hear.

But this response was sobering:
I can think of an example. https://t.co/KwuvyYgyGw

Damn.
Scalise is of course talking about Bernie Bro James Hodgkinson, who shot him and several other people in 2017. While Republicans were practicing for a friendly baseball game, Hodgkinson opened fire hitting Scalise as well as U.S. Capitol Police officer Crystal Griner, congressional aide Zack Barth, and lobbyist Matt Mika. Luckily none of the victims died and cops were able to take out the gunman. Hodgkinson was not just a Sanders supporter, but actually worked for Bernie’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Does that qualify as something bad from a Bernie Bro? How about this:
Jeremy Joseph Christian stabbed two people to death on a Portland train in 2017. The liberal media tried to portray him as a right-wing white supremacist, be he is in fact a huge supporter of Bernie Sanders, who wanted to murder Donald Trump.
How about this one? A loser whose real name is Reality Winner was arrested after she stole top secret government information and leaked it to a website. She was part of the Trump Resistance and a supporter of Bernie Sanders. She also threatened to kill President Trump by burning down the White House and pledged her allegiance to the Taliban and Iran.
If that stuff is too 3-years ago for Ellison, this happened a couple of days ago:
Yeah, that’s a Bernie Bro attacking a black guy at a Sanders rally feet from the stage where Bernie was speaking.
Or, Ellison could just watch some footage from one of those “peaceful” protests in Portland. All those losers in the black masks attacking random people on the street are all big-time Bernie Sanders supporters.
I guess would shouldn’t expect Keith Ellison to acknowledge the violence and hatred from Sanders supporters because he’s a Bernie Bro as well. He’s also a Farrakhan Fellow, so hatred and violence are normal to him as long as it’s directed at conservatives.
