"accused of it".

"Under the circumstances, it’s understandable why Sanders supporters would be a bit touchy about Dolores Huerta accusing them of disrespect. Huerta sits right at the intersection of three demographics — labor, women, people of color— that the Sanders campaign needed, and failed, to win over in order to convincingly argue that this is a real political revolution instead of a social signaling opportunity for people who want to be seen as radical."

I hope that vid of Sarandon talking down to Delores like she was her housekeeping is going viral.

This is such good news, Starry.. The smart people are going or Hillary!
