CNN: Pro-Sanders Bullies Are “Swarming” His Critics

CNN reports:

More than a dozen social media users spoke to CNN about their experiences with bullying by Sanders supporters. They described threats against family members, the creation of imposter accounts that resembled their own and what some described as being “swarmed,” where barrages of vitriol filled their Twitter feeds and inboxes for days after they posted something critical of Sanders.

Two other targets said they were so tormented by the online attacks they faced following their public questioning or criticism of Sanders that they requested those specific circumstances not be reported for fear such harassment could start up again. Both said Sanders supporters exposed their addresses, shared their personal photos and spread information about their relatives and work colleagues.

The above-linked report notes that Sanders has repeatedly denounced any bullying by his supporters and personally intervened on at least one occasion.

The report also notes that every candidate has supporters who cross the line. Read the full article and watch the clip.
