US Uncut reports:
Some of the biggest pro-Bernie Sanders groups on Facebook were briefly taken down Monday evening in a targeted attack by Hillary Clinton supporters.
The groups Bernie Sanders Activists, Bernie Believers, BERNIE OR BUST, Bernie Sanders Revolutionaries, Bay Area for Bernie, Bernie Sanders 2016 — Ideas Welcome, Bernie Sanders is my HERO, and Bernie Sanders for President 2016 were all taken down in the attack. The pages in question were reported to be down for about three hours, from 9 p.m. to midnight Monday night.
Collectively, these groups are home to more than a quarter million Bernie Sanders supporters, and some have been in existence for nearly a year, having been launched shortly after the Vermont senator declared his intent to run for president in 2015.
The groups were targeted by online trolls, who posted pornographic images and reported the groups to Facebook admins.

Yes, but if it was just about being unliked, then he'd be the last candidate to be attacked like that, his likability rating is far higher than Clinton, Trump and Cruz. I'm not sure about Kasich, is he really still running or has he forgotten to stop?
Considering the things we know that Clinton has done, campaigning in polling places and laundering money through the DNC in order to get more money that she wasn't legally allowed to raise after hitting the donor limits for the primary, this isn't any unrealistic to pin on her than her other generally sleazy campaign strategies.
When we swear Donald Trump in, and BTW he's only about 3% behind her in the polls at the moment, it's going to be the fault of her and the establishment democrats for insisting upon engaging in this dirty campaigning.
