Sen. Bernie Sanders' political team – in an apparent bid for party unity – is asking supporters chosen to represent the former presidential candidate at the Democratic convention to sign agreements preventing them from criticizing Democratic Party leaders or other 2020 contenders either in person or on social media during this summer’s confab.
And that’s not sitting well with some Sanders supporters who’ve received or heard about the agreements.
“Threatening to remove as people as delegates because of a Facebook post,” a delegate said. “It’s ridiculous."
Another delegate said the push to prevent dissent at the convention by Sanders supporters “is going to backfire.”
