Democrats are starting to put on show rivaling the spectacle that is the 2016 GOP primary.
Dr. Paul Song used some colorful language to describe the Democrat establishment while speaking at a Sanders rally Wednesday. It didn’t help that Hillary Clinton’s name was mentioned in nearly the same sentence.
Adds that we need to kick out the “corporate Democratic whores” and replace them with “Bernie-crats.”

Here’s the transcript via Blue Nation Review:
Dr. Paul Song: Now Secretary Clinton has said that Medicare for all will never happen. [boos] Well, I agree with Secretary Clinton that Medicare for all will never happen if we have a president who never aspires for something greater than the status quo. [cheers] Medicare for all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic whores [cheers] who are beholden to big pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us.”
Song tried to defend himself and apolgize.
@Shakestweetz yes. I have never said anything personal about her. Am deeply sorry for my poor choice of words. It was truly about congress.

I am very sorry for using the term “whore” to refer to some in congress who are beholden to corporations and not us. It was insensitive.
— Paul Y. Song (@paulysong) April 14, 2016
But it was too late. The “Democratic whores” hashtag was alive and trending, and everyone from every political affiliation wanted a piece of it.
Too late, @paulysong. Like I tell my kids, “sorry” doesn’t change what’s happening!#DemocraticWhores!

Gloria Steinem once claimed that women who vote for Bernie are actual Whores. #DemocraticWhores #FeelTheBern https://t.co/eRjL3qZBae

It is offensively sexist to think ‘whore’ only refers to women. More men Corp sell-outs, more men #DemocraticWhores! https://t.co/QjWJywaRld

If you’re a Bernie supporter and you’re tweeting #DemocraticWhores in earnest, you’re not a progressive or a radical; you’re a misogynist.

Why is it conservatives let you have rallies for a criminal & a communist without interruption but you disrupt ours? ?#DemocraticWhores

Good question.
Sanders has since come out to try and quiet things down calling Song’s remarks “insensitive” and “inappropriate.”
Dr. Song’s comment was inappropriate and insensitive. There’s no room for language like that in our political discourse.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) April 14, 2016
Again, the apology came too late…
@BernieSanders You should have said that last night. Shame on you, Bernie?
