This week,a political dogfight in Nevada led to harassment of party officials and threats of violence from supporters of Bernie Sanders.  The candidate defended his frustrated supporters. The threats aimed at a party leader has been criticized even by Sanders supporters."This critique has typically been aimed at white men in the Sanders camp, similar to the white men in Trump's camp, and " says Darnell Moore,a writer and host of The Movement on Mic.com. "They are rallying around this conception of the economic and political fragility of white men."Moore and WNYC's Andrea Bernstein discuss the week in politics with host David Furst.
