66. You know, legitimate criticism of someone at one event isn't throwing them under the bus.

We're all human and we all make mistakes.

I am a mother. I have to sometimes correct bad behavior my children display. It doesn't mean I'm throwing my kids under any bus, it means that I'm displeased with an action, not their whole being. And I don't hate Barbara Boxer. I just don't agree with either her choice of candidate or the way she behaved yesterday.

Boxer acted poorly on that stage. She has believed the media lies that all Bernie supporters are neophyte Millennials who don't understand the process or the consequences and talked down to half the crowd as if they were stupid. She deserved the boos she received for her bad behavior. And boos were the right choice since she's a bit too old to be sent to the corner.
