During Wednesdays Democratic debate, Senator Bernie Sanders suggested that foreign trolls could be responsible for the intense negativity among some of his supporters, alluding to the misinformation campaign launched by Russian actors during the start of the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

Vermont senator defended the \u201c99.9 percent\u201d of his supporters on Twitter that \u201care decent human beings,\u201d after moderators asked whether his supporters are \u201cmaking it harder for Democrats to unify in November.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pressing him on the issue, contender Pete Buttigieg said, \u201cAt a certain point, youve got to ask yourself, Why did this pattern arise? Why is it especially the case among your supporters?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if there are a few people who make ugly remarks, who attack trade union leaders, I disown those people. They are not part of our movement,\u201d Sanders said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Twitter spokesperson told CNBC, \u201cUsing technology and human review in concert, we proactively monitor Twitter to identify attempts at platform manipulation and mitigate them. As is standard, if we have reasonable evidence of state-backed information operations, well disclose them following our thorough investigation to our public archive\u2014the largest of its kind in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Facebook spokesperson also told CNBC that the company has no evidence that Russians are manipulating the activity of supposed Sanders supporters online.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, who has endorsed Sanders, was asked about the Bernie Bros during an interview on the talk show \u201cThe View.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to talk about the Bernie Bros,'\u201d host Megan McCain said. \u201cThe one thing that connects women on the left and the women on the right \u2026 is the abuse that we have all been subjected to by Bernie Bros. It is, by far \u2026 the most violent, the most misogynistic, the most sexist, the most harmful.\u201d<\/p>\n
