🔥A little over 24hrs ago @fred_guttenberg took issue with some Bernie supporters confronting @JoeBiden who he supports with a coffin.He found this offensive as
1- he lost his dtr in Parkland
2-Joe biden lost his wife & son and his other son.
1- he lost his dtr in Parkland
2-Joe biden lost his wife & son and his other son.
2-The group that made this video
removed it.Not evetyone agreed with Fred-countering the coffin was
Meant as the death of a campaign.
Young supporters made it and wrote significant points they believed caused his low performance on the coffin.

3- Several large accts joined Fred including some Msm pundits.One Joy claimed Biden recently lost his late son.False fact- 2015 is not recent.Even after the coffin video
was removed they continued not satisfied.
was removed they continued not satisfied.
4-Today some singular alledged
Bernie supporters attacked Fred.
It appears Bloomberg attacks were also claimed.Then the Bloomberg
Campaign conveniently goes after the Sanders camp.Both have responded.

5- Americans KNOW paid - shills, trolls, and bots, have appeared at time attacking certain ppl.The intent is too divide and influence an ELECTION.We defended Fred this am, countered Trolls and reported.
These are NOT the bulk if Bernie supporters.

6- But ..the sequence of events shows a familar pattern.A SUPPORTER maling a complaint and not letting it go and subsequent backlash.We all have freedom of speech, to vote, and feelings.So do others.
7- Its understanable some were offended by the coffin.They removed it.They have rights, not everyone agreed with those complaining- but the VID was removed.The backlash was from a wave trolls started.Not Bernie supporters
8- the bottom line is if YOU play with Trolls you get burned.You cry wolf- you lose creditability.If you are attacked and offended- dont attack others.Trolls are playing hard on victim status- which wouldnt be an option if that card
wasnt being used.
wasnt being used.
9- Twitter has lots of options.Block, mute, report.Fred knows this.The single rare tweets that were aimed, were mild compared to the AV and racist movements.Demanding that Sanders should call him is overboard.
10-The lesson is before anyone Tweets about any campaign or candidate- think.Claim victim status and and accuse a fan base, almost always brings a shit storm.
If you cant handle the internet- maybe sign off.Trolls are a part of it.

11-A coffin heckler in NY has ZERO to do with a man in FL. If hes offended he owns that, his name was never mentioned by the hecklers.Yet he jumped in claiming victim status.They removed it.By jumping in further _like it or not- he opened himself.He owns that.
@fred_guttenberg @JoeBiden @threadreaderapp please unroll
