ZitatProving himself 1000% classier than Bill Maher and the hundred-plus leftist trolls on Twitter, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) chastised a crowd of supporters this weekend when they openly cheered billionaire David Koch's death.
According to CNN, Bernie's moment of civility came when he was taking questions from audience members at the Minnesota state fair.
"Yesterday, oligarch David Koch passed away," an audience member said to Bernie as the crowd erupted into cheers.
At first, Bernie only lightly chastised the crowd by signaling them to quiet down. Later, when he took the microphone, he told them the cheers were not appropriate before segueing into political talking points.
"I don't applaud the death of somebody. We needn't do that," Bernie began. "I think what we can say is that the Koch brothers and other billionaires, because of this disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, have been able to spend hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to elect candidates who represent the wealthy and the powerful and the fossil fuel industry, which is where the Koch brothers made a lot of their money."
In case you are wondering about the allusion to Bill Maher, that cretin had this to say, among other nasty comments, about Koch's death: "I'm glad he’s dead, and I hope the end was painful."
The military wing of the Democrat Party used to wear white hoods. That has now been replaced with black hoodies.
