#SundayMorning & I'm still tweeting. Today I'm adding this thread. If you think Bernie is the only issue w/#womensconvention pls read 1/
The so-called #womensconvention is a farce. It was a chance to invite a diverse collection of anti-Democrats to an alt Party Convention. /2
I researched the bios of the 40+ speakers listed on the website & discovered about 25% of them are past or present Bernie supporters /3
The vast majority of the remaining speakers are socialists, OWS, Green Party, anarchists. Notable exceptions: @RepMaxineWaters,@Schriock1 /4
Some of the Bernie ppl who are speaking include Nina Turner: 5/ ...
