(7,962 posts)Did they all issue a statement or did you just do a search on one of them for some reason?

(35,454 posts)The response of PBO, HRC and others have been prominent but had to look regarding your question.

Plus, being one of only a few Jewish Senators, it is important to know if/what he said about the racist, anti-Semitic events of Saturday is important.
Interesting that you seem concerned about what others think and say.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., says President Trump bears "some responsibility" for the rise in hate groups leading up to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Courtesy office of Bernie Sanders Video at link

An activist group founded by Bernie Sanders is attempting to raise money off of the deaths in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Our Revolution, the political action committee formed from Sanders unsuccessful 2016 campaign, sent out an email to subscribers condemning white nationalists and the terror attack that killed Heather Heyer. The email used her name and the names of Jay Cullen and Berke Bate, the two Virginia State Troopers killed in a helicopter crash while monitoring the events in the city, with an appeal for donations at the bottom.
The email, signed by Nina Turner, the president of the organization, started, Yesterday an act of domestic terrorism took the lives of Heather Heyer, a fellow Bernie supporter and coworker in the movement for social justice, and two police officers, Pilot Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bate. Many others are suffering from injuries. Make no mistake, this was an intentional act of hatred by white nationalists. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this act of terrorism and their families.

(7,962 posts)But it's not good enough. So if that group is to blame for trading on this tragedy, isn't this thread doing the same thing in pursuit of another agenda?

People can ignore reality if they like, but it's ill-advised to expect others to do so.

(37,748 posts)You seem to be confused that "pointed out" and "inferred" (whether accurately or not) posses the same meaning. They don't.
Hope that helps!

(18,124 posts)are just sooooooo obvious. They stand out and have stood out like a sore thumb. For a long time now to the point they can be recognized by the obfuscation they ALWAYS use. I have learned to laugh and move on having had my humor for the day. They are just so damn obvious in their agenda.

(35,454 posts)Though I would guess they were so there would be no equivocation. As to the fundraiser email, to the best of my knowledge, yes it was sent.

(1,701 posts)you will see that he made more than one statement denouncing the marchers and Trump's statements about them. It is very easy to find his tweets, just search his name on Twitter.

(18,124 posts)on my question and looking at dates, times and responses.....no it was NOT me. And then fundraising off this tragedy, even before all the victims of the nazis were known by name? Unforgivable. No, not me....period....
