Bernie needs to say this in public, not private. That's the difference between being a leader and being an asshole.
Bernie Sanders Is Personally Calling Democrats To Reassure Them On Party Unity By Jason Easley on Fri, May 20th, 2016 at 9:43 am
Behind the scenes, Sen. Bernie Sanders is delivering a different personal message to Democrats than some of his campaign's public statements. Sanders is personally calling Democrats to reassure them that he will unite with the party and work to defeat Donald Trump.
Sanders also called Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) after the chaos at the Nevada Democratic convention. Here is how Boxer characterized their conversation, “He did phone me back last night and he was very distressed about it. It was a very warm conversation, and I told him, he expressed shock that his people would do it. I did tell him the vast majority of those Bernie supporters were sitting in their chairs, they were fine, But there was this group of 50-100 people, they were not young people, they were older people and he ought to check out and see, who these people are, and he said he would. In my mind when he says he does not support any type of violence, I believe him. And he’s got to make sure it doesn’t happen. People will follow his lead.”
