Donald Trump and his son are making life dangerous for a Bernie Sanders worker. Very dangerous.
The 'Heil Lady' in the photo taken at last night's Chicago rally has been clearly identified as Trump supporter Birgitt Peterson in the caption of the photo. But that didn't stop some high-profile Trump supporters from taking the opportunity to substitute the name of a Bernie Sanders organizer for it, in order to excuse their own supporters' despicable behavior.
After the picture above started making the rounds last night, some right-wingers online noticed that a Bernie volunteer had some generally similar features. Donald Trump's miserable son picked it up and ran with it.
The "Trump Nazi" is Portia Boulger, who runs the Women for Bernie Sanders Twitter account. It's another media plant. pic.twitter.com/m1CkwWgwud

Voxday then made a weak "correction," but it doesn't seem to have gotten as much attention.
Now reports are that the "Trump Nazi" is not pro-Sanders Portia Boulger, but "Birgitt Peterson of Yorkville".

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's twerp animal-murdering son picked up the ball and ran with it, along with actor James Woods and others:
Big surprise. However, the media will never run with this. https://t.co/3LsHvP5II3

This is the truth, as shown by the caption published by the Chicago Tribune:

Others online can't manage to see the truth even when it hits them like a ton of bricks, fanning the flames further:
@BorisJohnson12 @voxday @PortiaABoulger Nope, it's been confirmed to be Portia. She's being charged.

That's utter bull, of course, but it's social media so why not?
Meanwhile, Portia Boulger isn't letting them bully her, but she's being threatened and harassed, nevertheless.
My husband is an attorney. Damn good one at that.@tryggth @rossaaaanderson @Sagan7770 @ggreenwald @DonaldJTrumpJr

If you're on Twitter or Facebook, share this post with as many people as you can so that this woman doesn't have to get threats and harassment from the fascists supporting Trump, please.
Update:
Here's a Facebook account of how that picture came to be. I haven't verified it, but it sounds genuine.
Also, it seems that Birgitt Peterson and her husband have a history of agitation.
Update 2:
The person who originally tweeted the smear is a known white supremacist, according to Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs.
