Their anger spilled into public view over the weekend as Sanders supporters at the Nevada convention threw chairs, tried to shout down Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), vandalized buildings and made death threats against the state party chairwoman after Hillary Clinton won more pledged delegates than the Vermont senator. [...]
That some Sanders supporters in Nevada appear to have embraced aggressive behavior despite an earlier plea from the Vermont senator that they work with other Democrats "respectfully and constructively" shows that Sanders may not have full control of his backers, said Nevada political analyst Jon Ralston.
“Sanders has unleashed something that I don’t think even he knew he would unleash," Ralston said. "Has he started this wildfire that he can’t put out?"
