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.

First Bernie supporters attacked the cooks, now reports are coming in they're randomly attacking fences.

The culinary union in an effort to be bi-partisan and find common ground, put on a BBQ for Bernie's supporters.

If the Bernie people bring pans to a fight, the Culinary Union will bring knives and cleavers.

Remember, some of the Culinary Union members were trained by the CIA - the Culinary Institute of America.

Never mess with the kitchen staff. They will cut your balls off, and then your head.

Maybe they should all don their Culinary Union Never Trumpers hats, when confronting that pugnacious pinko, Mr. B.S.

It is a beauteous thing when Progtard DildoCrats fight amongst themselves over the dumpster fire that is in their nomination process.

Now if we could just get them to use modern sporting rifles with high capacity magazines to settle their intramural differences....

2016 the Bernie Bros were accused of using physical intimidation at caucus locations mostly in Vegas.
