Senator Bernie Sanders is all about transparency, equality, women’s rights, and fairness. Apparently, these things only apply to socialism-loving leftists. If you’re an outspoken conservative, you’re not allowed to hear his message even if you’ve done literally nothing to cause a disruption at his campaign rallies. That’s the lesson gun-toting conservative journalist Kaitlin Bennett learned today as she was ejected from his “public” rally before it even began.

I am a conservative journalist and was just ejected from a @BernieSanders rally for expressing my 1st amendment. I was just sitting there and was told I had to leave, with no reason given except that his campaign didn't want me there. THIS is actual fascism. pic.twitter.com/iyaMwAHMMU — Kaitlin Bennett (@KaitMarieox) April 14, 2019

Opinion

I totally understand the need to prevent disruptions at events. I’ve never been a fan of the heckler’s veto, the act of suppressing messages by screaming over public speakers. But that’s not what was happening here. As far as we can tell by the video, Bennett was doing nothing to disrupt the event. In fact, the event hadn’t even started before she got the boot.

It’s the right of those holding events to prevent people from watching. There’s nothing illegal or even immoral about it. But Sanders is known for allowing people to protest or even take over his events in the past. What’s changed? Why is he suddenly so concerned about a conservative journalist who hadn’t done anything other than being a conservative journalist?

This isn’t the type of story you’ll hear on mainstream media. They’ll ignore it. But if it were Jim Acosta or some other leftist journalist ejected from a conservative event before it even began, you can rest assured the media would be all up in arms about the 1st Amendment just as they did when he was barred from the White House.

There is no room for dissenting views in today’s America. That’s a big problem. It isn’t just the left, but by golly they seem to carry the lion’s share when it comes to suppression.

“The police officer agreed with me that I did nothing wrong, but booted me anyway. On my way out, the private security officer told me he supports me but has to do his job. Thank you @ BernieSanders for exposing how intolerant the left really is towards dissenting opinions.” – Kaitlin Bennett

Final Thoughts

The mere presence of a conservative is enough to prompt a police response at a Bernie Sanders rally. The left is really tapping into the fear they’re creating, a fear that focuses on attacking dissenting views regardless of the circumstances.
