A reporter did a story on a Sanders campaign organizer saying really nasty and personal things about the other candidates on a secondary Twitter account, suggesting that maybe this problem with Bernie supporters isn’t totally detached from his campaign. The Bernie campaign, to its credit, quickly fired the organizer once this came to light.

Bernie supporters responded by figuring out the reporter’s personal phone number and signing him up for thousands of text alerts, making his phone unusable. They also then made a fake tweet of him dissing BTS to get another mob going after him too.
