@ClaraJeffery@SenSanders@nickconfessore this is totally false. if you're going to accuse someone you need evidence -
@ClaraJeffery@SenSanders@nickconfessore the person whose account was suspended for threats against her is an apolitical troll. -
.
@ClaraJeffery@nickconfessore using the serious issue of online abuse of women to score political points for your candidate is disgraceful

@ClaraJeffery From what I saw the campaign didn't begin as harassment -- it began as justifiable ridicule of an unsubstantiated claim -
@ClaraJeffery by unsubstantiated claim, I meant that a significant portion of Sanders' followers are "cryptoracists" -
@ClaraJeffery that, much like the idea that harassment claims are lies perpetuated by HilBots, seems open to contest and even ridicule, no? -
@ClaraJeffery also, should these people be suspended? Probably, right?pic.twitter.com/kbF5tosIt4
