Many of those purged lived in public housing projects and in working class / working poor areas. Those were Clinton voters.

The knee jerk conclusion by some that the purge specifically targeted Sanders ("He was born in Brooklyn!&quot seemed patently ridiculous to those of us here in NY who volunteered for the Clinton campaign. Sanders left Brooklyn almost 50 years ago. He may have been born in the borough, but it was Hillary who had favorite daughter status based on the work that she did during her tenure as a NY senator.
