In contemporary politics, when there are reports of partisan activists making death threats, throwing chairs, and scrawling ugly messages on walls, it’s easy to assume Donald Trump supporters are responsible. But in Nevada, it’s actually Bernie Sanders’ proponents.

We talked yesterday about the alarming unrest at the Nevada Democratic Convention, held in Las Vegas over the weekend, which ended with security shutting down the event, followed by pro-Sanders activists rushing the stage, “yelling obscenities,” and “throwing chairs.” The New York Times reported overnight that Sanders supporters soon after leaked the state chairwoman’s phone number, and she’s received calls threatening her life and the lives of her children and grandchildren.

As if that weren’t enough, Sanders backers scrawled messages on the walls outside the state Democratic Party headquarters – “You are scum” was one of them – and the Democratic offices were closed yesterday out of fear of possible security concerns posed by Sanders advocates.

If state party officials were, in fact, responsible for genuine abuses at the convention, perhaps some of the outrage would at least be understandable, but Jon Ralston, Nevada’s top political reporter, published a piece late yesterday saying that the opposite is true.

Despite their social media frothing and self-righteous screeds, the facts reveal that the Sanders folks disregarded rules, then when shown the truth, attacked organizers and party officials as tools of a conspiracy to defraud the senator of what was never rightfully his in the first place.
