Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign offices across the country were defaced by vandals – which his office blames without evidence on Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “hateful rhetoric.”
At least 7 offices round the country were spray-painted in large red letters with slurs including “racist,” “sexist,” “oligarch,” eat the rich, and “corporate pig”. In one location the windows were smashed.
As @BernieSanders’ National Co-Chair, I unequivocally condemn the attacks on Bloomberg’s campaign offices.
Our campaign fueled by grassroots donors is building the coalition needed to defeat Trump.

Of course it was Sanders’s people, and he knows it. Political violence in America is almost always on the left. This happens to Republican campaigns all the time; why would anyone be surprised to find it now happening within the Democrats? They use the same methods both on external enemies and internal ones.
Who has forgotten that the only recent attempt to assassinate congressmen because of their politics was committed by a Sanders campaign worker? The Democrats and the press have shoved this down the memory hole; had the parties been reversed we would be hearing about it at least once a week.
If you vote Dem, this is who you empower.
This is the civility that Hillary was talking about.
