Over the last month or so since Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has skyrocketed in state and national polls and won the New Hampshire primary, other Democratic candidates, their surrogates and some in the mainstream media have turned to criticizing him for the obnoxious and sometimes belligerent behavior of some of his more fanatical supporters, otherwise known as “Bernie Bros.”

The issue even came up during Wednesday’s Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas. Here’s how Sanders responded when the issue was brought up last night by MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson:

SANDERS: We have over 10.6 million people on Twitter, and 99.9 percent of them are decent human beings, are working people, are people who believe in justice, compassion, and love. And if there are a few people who make ugly remarks, who attack trade union leaders, I disown those people. They are not part of our movement.

But let me also say what I hope my friends up here will agree with is that if you look at the wild west of the internet, talk to some of the African-American women on my campaign. Talk to Senator Nina Turner. Talk to others and find the vicious, racist, sexist attacks that are coming their way, as well.

So I would hope that all of us understand that we should do everything we possibly can to end the viciousness and ugliness on the internet. Our campaign is about issues. It’s about fighting for the working families and the middle class. It is not about vicious attacks on other people.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a Democrat, weighed in on the Twitter machine a short time after the debate concluded to ask for examples of a Bernie Bro being “unusually mean or rude” because he says he has never come across any:
