A New York Times journalist reported on Twitter that she had received three separate death threats after penning a piece calling the Democratic primary for Hillary Clinton.

“Hillary Clinton Has Clinched Democratic Nomination, Survey Reports,” Times reporters Amy Chozick and Patrick Healy wrote Monday. The piece was not based off of the Times‘ delegate count, but reported on an announcement from the Associated Press that they were calling the race for Clinton.

Supporters of Clinton’s opponent Bernie Sanders were less than happy with the piece, and at least three of them called Chozick on her personal phone to threaten her.

I won't be answering calls from unknown numbers today, after third call from Bernie supporters telling me they'd hunt me down in the streets

1. I can't wait to hear how it's not Bernie's supporters.

[BootinUp]

3. Technically, they won't be supporters of Bernie

after he withdraws.

[puffy socks]

4. yes , that's true.

Well they'll still support him 27 bucks at a time.

Someone said they were sending money yesterday. !

11. Yes, I saw a person make that promise in two different threads!

[puffy socks]

13. Maybe it's Weaver or Devine

or Sanders himself as the family is thinking about taking a trip to Tibet to meet the Dalai Lama.

14. ...

15. They're doing exactly that in the GDP version of this post.

And downplaying the threats.

Surprise!

5. It would be interesting comparing the threats made to Ms. Chozick

with those (if any) made to Mr. Healy. Wanna bet they're different? Wanna bet those made to Ms. Chozick are both more vicious, but also more sexual? Wanna bet that there's a very distinctive strain of misogyny in those reactions?

But heaven forfend we point out bad behavior, let alone any misogyny, in the followers of the Vermont Senator.

6. You know Superdelegates been getting same...see why our convention can be

A disaster by sanders supporters....that anarchist WTO...crowd looking for a fight....sanders is such a weak leader he has no control.he sold his soul to the devil for his brief moment in the sun...

[Koinos]

7. And the devil returned his soul for a full refund.

Excessive wear and tear, as well as quality control problems, were cited.

8. Don't they realize that the biggest social changes have been made peacefully?

What is wrong with these people??!!

[Walk away]

9. Lookin' good Bernie! You True Believers are threatening death to reporters now!

That should get you plenty of delegate votes! If Bernie Sanders stays in to the convention, I believe (with the help of his supporters) he will end up being hated and despised by everyone but the fringiest of his fringe!
That is alright by me. I have never liked him.

[SunSeeker]

10. I'm sure Bernie will denounce this abhorant behavior ASAP.

[NastyRiffraff]

18. I'm not holding my breath n/t

[SunSeeker]

19. No one is. nt

[BobbyDrake]

12. Fake Progressives Who Act Like Republicans For Bernie.

No wonder they lost, and lost badly.

[book_worm]

16. Some and I emphasize Some BS supporters are just as bad as Trump supporters

and look, it's a woman! Must be the Bernie Bros in action again.

17. I hope she reported these to the police.
