Nevada's powerful Culinary Union says members were 'viciously attacked' by Sanders' supporters
Fox News ^ | 2/12/20 | Andrew O'Reilly

The politically influential Culinary Union in Nevada released a statement on Wednesday claiming that its members have been “viciously attacked” by supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. after the union publicly warned its members against backing a candidate in the state’s Democratic caucus who supports “Medicare-for-All.”

The union’s statement comes amid reports of harassment of union members over the phone and on social media by alleged Sanders’ supporters less than a day after the union released a flyer claiming that Sanders wants to “end culinary healthcare.”

“It’s disappointing that Senator Sanders’ supporters have viciously attacked the Culinary Union and working families in Nevada simply because our union has provided facts on what certain healthcare proposals might do to take away the system of care we have built over 8 decades,” Geoconda Argüello-Kline, the secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union Local 226, said in her statement.

The casino workers’ Culinary Union, a 60,000-member group made up of housekeepers, porters, bartenders and more who work in Las Vegas’ famed casinos, controls arguably one of the most important voting blocs in Nevada and is expected to play a crucial role in the state’s caucus later this month.

The DNC is behind this. I hope Bernies supporters realize what is going on. They are going to make damn sure Bernie doesn’t win Nevada they cannot allow any momentum.

“And make your food.”

I’d say that would be something to worry about, but lunatics that support Sanders really do not think that far ahead.

What happened, the Sanders people went over there and added too much salt, made some noise and their souffle collapsed?

These poor folks didn’t mind when it was ANTIFA with four foot clubs beating up Conservatives. Now they’re miffed.

Cry me a river...

Absolutely! Bloomberg put a lot of money in getting Sisolak (NV Dem Gov.) elected. The Culinary Workers Union are going to back Little Mike, IMO.

When the media and the DNC cheat Sanders out of this nomination, the civil war among the Democrats will be interesting to watch.
