Will media ask Bernie Sanders about violent staff?
As I watched the new videos from James O’Keefe exposing extremely violent rhetoric from a paid Bernie Sanders staffer, I couldn’t stop asking myself, “What if this was a Trump official or even a supporter? Would there be this level of silence from the legacy media?” For those of you who haven’t seen the videos, here’s the complete “Part 2,” and updates down below.
Language Warning: As it turns out, this Youtuber had the same reaction. The hypocrisy is palpable.
A religious zeal for authoritarianism on the right or the left will always lead to mass violence. It didn’t take long to find a poor deluded soul supporting this violent rhetoric. How boringly normal are these beliefs? Watch this Youtuber defend “reeducation camps.” Again, note how when you define your ideological enemies as “Nazis” you get to justify all manner of violence. Some unbelievable quotes here.
It’s probably not the greatest idea to talk about the f—ing gulag like on video, but at the same time, factually wise, nothing there was really incorrect. What are you suppose to do with MAGA people? Like what are we suppose to do with the “Build the wall dumb motherf—er? Teach them not to be stupid. That’s the whole f—ing point of the progressive, leftist ideology.
Video below.
Help me collect messages of support for the violence advocated in these videos. Use #MAGAgulag

So when we drop videos in other states, and they shut down all their Twitter accounts in THOSE states, this will become a political phenomenon.

First campaign in history where all social media Comms shut down in multiple states and no journalists™ think that is newsworthy. 🙄 https://t.co/G2oQrGM0lv
Greg McKelvey was a delegate for Bernie Sanders. He identifies as an open communist & currently serves as VP on the black caucus for Oregon Democrats. He advocates for political violence, & was previously arrested & charged for allegedly kidnapping & strangling an underage girl. pic.twitter.com/VPbpPzEctJ

Kyle Jurek: "F*cking Project Veritas. [O'Keefe has] a special place in hell reserved for him... What wouldn't I do to that guy?"

I take threats to myself and our staff very seriously. We have reported Kyle's threats against POTUS to @SecretService.
He still works for Bernie. pic.twitter.com/KTOhe4RfFG
