The night before the Nevada caucuses, the chairman of the state’s Democratic Party called police after several supporters of Bernie Sanders gathered outside his home at 11 p.m. with a bullhorn to issue a warning about the next day’s election.
William McCurdy, the Nevada party chair and a member of the state Assembly, confronted Estrada and the other Sanders supporters outside his home nearly an hour after they arrived. He told them they had “crossed a line.”Estrada shot back: “If any bullshit happens tomorrow the only person who crossed the line is you.
The incident and three others in recent days come at a time when some Democrats and rival campaigns say Sanders’ supporters are engaged in harassment and bullying, both online and in person. His opponents have increasingly highlighted examples and argued that Sanders has allowed a toxic culture to fester among his fans. The conduct could complicate Sanders' efforts to unite the party as he’s established himself as the frontrunner for the nomination.
At around 9 p.m. the night after the Nevada incident, Estrada and several other Sanders supporters went to the Los Angeles home of California Secretary of State Alex Padilla. Padilla’s office oversees California elections, including the Democratic primary on Tuesday. “We don’t want a repeat of 2016 and we sure as fuck don’t want what happened in Iowa,” Estrada told fellow Sanders supporters Saturday morning during a visit to a caucus site, according to another video she posted. “[McCurdy] flipped out because it was really late at night and we were in front of his house. We know what they do and we’re trying to keep them honest.”
“I don't think it is especially the case, by the way,” Sanders said, to which Buttigieg replied: “That's just not true. Look, people know the way your supporters treat them.”
