Hillary Clinton's most ardent supporters really are incredible, any political objection to Hillary is a result your deeply held misogyny, she was apparently "entitled" to each and every vote from those who described themselves as anything else but a Trump supporter, any legitimate criticism of her or her politics is the result of "Russian disinformation campaigns" and now Hillary is apparently of the same moral standing as notable religious figures.

However, two recent statements that Sanders made has drawn the ire of even his most loyal supporters.

When asked by Jake Tapper if he would join the calls of fellow Democrats such as Cynthia Nixon to abolish ICE, he tapped danced around the question, instead saying that Trump and Congress should work to make sure that what we see today with the separation of children and their parents is put to an end. His supporters didn't agree with this stance, with arguments
