Residents of a California beach city are furious at their local officials after homeless people were reportedly moved into their neighborhoods to make way for a Bernie Sanders rally. NBC-4 in Los Angeles covered the story in their “streets of shame” series about the homeless epidemic in Los Angeles.
Residents say that the city moved homeless encampments away from the beach and into their neighborhoods when Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) held a campaign rally in Venice Beach.
Sanders had a rally in Venice on December 21, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) showing her support.
Advocates for the homeless even noted the displacement at the time:

Dear @BernieSanders and @AOC,
I'm excited you're coming to Venice tomorrow, but unhoused residents are being violently displaced to make your rally possible.
This happens everyday across LA, and it k**ls people.
Please call out the local politicians responsible.
Residents told NBC-4 that the homeless encampments have changed the character of their neighborhood and they no longer feel safe.

Trump would not allow this to happen. His people, just as Sanders people, check out the site before going in. This is a sad and sick situation. Many people can’t afford to just move out of that sick state but they deserve better than this kind of treatment.
