Is Bernie Sanders Acting Like Trump? – Michael Bloomberg on Friday claimed that the “Trump-like language” of rival Bernie Sanders inspired supporters to vandalize one of the campaign headquarters in Tennessee and elsewhere in the country.
The campaign said Thursday night, Vandals spray-painted using the word “oligarch” at the doors of Bloomberg’s office in Knoxville, Tennessee.
“We do not really know who was responsible for this property damage, however, we do know that the Sanders campaign and its followers reiterate the language of sanders,” said Bloomberg campaign director Kevin Sheekey in a remark.
“We ask Bernie Sanders to condemn such attacks immediately and for his campaign to end the Trump-like propaganda, which directly inspires his fans to take part in conduct that has no room in our political system,” said Sheekey.
Sanders people declined to comment on the accusations.
Since Wednesday’s debate in Las Vegas, when Bloomberg, the mayor of the city of New York, flat-out said that Sanders will lose to Donald Trump if he became the Democratic nominee, since then tensions between both the two groups have been high.
Sanders, at the very same event, was asked about the behavior on social networks of some of his more spiteful supporters–so-called “Bernie Bros.” They formed a tiny percentage of his political base, he explained.
“We have more than 10.6 million people on Twitter, and 99.9% seem to be decent human beings, working-class people, folks who believe in law and order, empathy, and love,” replied Sanders. if there were a handful of people making obnoxious comments… Throughout the last week, several Bloomberg headquarters within Ohio were vandalized with spray-painted words “oligarch.” In Michigan, offices were vandalized with “corporate pig” also “Eat the rich.” So, the question remains, Is Bernie Sanders Acting Like Trump?
Sanders and his supporters have frequently referred to Bloomberg as something of an oligarch, being one of the world’s richest individuals on the planet.
