BARBERTON, OH – A photo of a local mother breastfeeding at Bernie Sanders’ rally in Cleveland is going viral — and sparking a surprising reaction.
At just six-months-old, Harper Bradford is already making a pretty strong political statement. Not with her words — but with her mouth.
Barberton mom Elle Bradford brought her baby to Bernie Sanders’ rally last Thursday and while she was “feeling the Bern,” baby Harper felt something else, too.
Hungry.
“There is no, ‘I’m feeding you in 10 minutes.’ It’s, ‘I’m feeding you right here, right now, or you’re screaming,” Bradford said.
So sitting second row, just feet away from the Democratic Presidential candidate, Bradford did what a mom has to do — and proof of it captured in a photo is now going viral.
But what makes the photo even more special for the family is that Bradford’s 3-year-old son Gavin was born with a hole in his heart and had to be tube-fed, making it impossible for her to ever nurse him.
“So this being her last baby, she was determined to do the breastfeeding and do it well,” said grandma Lee Bradford.
Bradford said Jane Sanders even came by after Bernie’s speech to thank her for being a mother. And the reaction she’s gotten from the public as the photo is shared thousands of times on social media, she said, has been primarily positive.
“I’m shocked,” she said, “And pleasantly surprised.”
Both mom and baby plan to be back in Cleveland when Bernie Sanders returns this Saturday.
I don’t care what your political views are (and FWIW I’m not a Sanders supporter), but we have here a Juggalette getting widespread praise for giving exactly zero fucks about what anyone thinks of when and where she breastfeeds her kid. Which is dope as fuck!

Breastfeeding in public is one of the stupidest debates out there. Babies get hungry and women have the ability to produce milk in their breasts, so whenever or wherever the baby is hungry the mother should be able to feed their child. And if they dont wish to cover them selves with a blanket so be it.

That’s what’s so dope about the story, IMO. She’s representing Juggalo values by not giving a fuck what people think, and a lot of non-Juggalos are giving her well-deserved respect and admiration for doing just that.

Goddammit awesome. Also, this will be the first time that I ever vote, for Bernie, of course. I sell weed legally for a living, there is no other candidate that I trust not to end my livelihood. My kids’ lives are at stake.
Anyway, this is awesome. Women should be able to breas feed anywhere. At the same time, I don’t like the breastfeeding nazi girls who verbally attack mothers that choose to or simply cannot breastfeed their kids. My wife used to have perfect, DD titties, and had to get them removed for health reasons. Because of the surgery, she had difficulties, and could only produce milk for a few months. Those are the most important years, where the colostrum, a nutrient-rich batch of milk, is produced. It’s the most vital period to breastfeed a kid, and we are great full that she could at least give that to our girls. Some women can’t do it. There are tons of physical reasons why. Fuck off if the chick can’t do it. Formula is there to fill in. We live in a great time.
If you vote for Bernie, I will give you a full gram preroll joint. Bitch.

He’s not Republican so I guess I won’t be getting that joint. :P
I never vote anyway. I don’t think there is really a difference of who is in office. At least for me there is only one president that has ever had a noticeable effect in my life. That would be Obama. My tax refund decreased by over a $1000 since he’s been in office. I am not too happy about that.

Strange. As of yesterday I received half of the largest tax return I have ever received in my life.
My wife received it via direct deposit yesterday, and gave me my check for half. It was literally, almost to the dollar, the amount that I owed on my college loan. $3300 later, and I am now 100% debt-free.
I also get paid from work today. I don’t thank nor blame the Obama man for this.
If $1000 less is the worse thing about that guy’s presidency, then consider yourself lucky.
The year or so before Obama was in office, I had to PAY IN $977 dollars while living in NC. Despite being poverty level. I will never forget that number. 9. 7. 7. If it wasn’t for me scrapping copper, my full time recycling truck driver job wouldn’t have ca me close to getting me back on track.
I don’t blame Bush for this.
I think Republicans and Democrats are both insane. But you still get a free joint for being one of the most rational ones. I’m thinki Ng for you…. Sour Maui!

Props to her for doin what all women who breastfeed should do when their baby gets hungry. More exposed titties can only make the world a better place. Really though is a rally where the whole crowd applauds,cheers, and gets raucous after every other sentence the best place for a baby and its sensitive ears? That’s about the same as taking a baby to a rock concert. Also, it’s a little disappointing that it couldn’t of been a good looking lette, because most ppl that aren’t into the juggalo culture assume most/all lettes are ugly. This chick does not help the stereotype.
"How come there ain't enough for everyone, how come you can't take back the shit that you've done?"
