Keith Ellison sounds like he just crawled out of a cave.
He actually has the unmitigated gall to suggest that Bernie Sanders supporters (aka “Bernie Bros”) are not violent.
Has this guy been locked up in a dark, moldy basement for the past three years?
Minnesota Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison suggested on Thursday that supporters of socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who are often referred to as “Bernie bros,” are not mean or rude to other people despite numerous reports showing the opposite.
Ellison, who is a supporter of Sanders, wrote on Twitter, “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.” [The Daily Wire]

Well, Steve Scalise quickly issued a response and it was a real humdinger.
I can think of an example. https://t.co/KwuvyYgyGw

You tell em’ Scalise!
The other responses from conservatives on Twitter were just as epic.
“Does ‘Milwaukee will burn’ ring a bell, Keith? Bernie’s staff is filled with wannabe Communist revolutionaries.

“You have exceptionally bad timing Keith. One of Bernie’s consultants was arrested today for planning a jailbreak where he planted loaded weapons & ammo all over the jail. https://t.co/T2c97IGpdX”

This is the umpteenth example of liberals being incredibly detached from reality.
Their ability to ignore everything going on around them besides anti-Trump hysteria is truly astonishing.
