Some say a woman portrayed as a “violent Trump Nazi” is possibly an avid Bernie Sanders supporter — a media plant. They say she is Portia Boulger. Actor James Woods posted pictures comparing a Chicago Tribune photo of a so-called Nazi-saluting Trump support to a bio photo of Portia Boulger, found on the website peopleforbernie.com. Next, Donald Trump, Jr (@DonaldJTrumpJr) retweeted James Woods tweet. The Chicago Tribune photojournalist, who described the photo, reported she is Birgitt Peterson of Yorkville. A little later, the real Portia Boulger tweeted she wasn’t in Chicago Friday, and that her hair is short (as in, not matching the current hairstyle of the Nazi saluter).

When Chicago Tribune Reporter E. Jason Wambsgans identied the Nazi saluter as Donald Trump supporter Birgitt Peterson of Yorkville, the reporter described that she was arguing with protesters March 11, 2016 outside the UIC Pavilion after the rally for the Republican presidential candidate was canceled.
Keith Olbermann took the opportunity to characterize Trump supporters by retweeting the original Chicago Trib Photo …

The website peopleforbernie.com has a bio for Portia Boulger, which describes her as an “Organizer (Women for Bernie). Portia A. Boulger is a grassroots activist who has fought for unions, women’s and human rights for over 40 years. She is active in national and statewide politics and serves on the Ross County Democratic Party executive committee. Portia is a team member of Women for Bernie Sanders and runs their Twitter account.”
And here come the Twitter one-liners …
Correction: The "Trump Nazi" is neither "Portia Boulger" nor "Birgitt Peterson", but Bernie Sanders himself wearing a wig.
