Ordinarily, I'd agree that extreme social media outlets shouldn't be associated with a mainstream political party. But Trump has actively courted Brietbart and Infowars and treats "news" from those outlets as fact, launching a twitter tirade accusing Obama of bugging Trump Tower phones on the strength of them, for example. He also is loath to disassociate himself from KKK and AltRight groups, doing the minimum possible after being challenged to do so. Gateway Pundit, a fake news site, was given White House press credentials; Paul Ryan knocked an application by Gateway Pundit for Congressional press accreditation on the head.
On the other hand, Bernie Sanders has been quick to disassociate himself from extreme "Bernie Bros". Hillary didn't need to do so as she is hardly a lightning rod for leftist radicals. She's probably more conservative than Malcolm Turnbull and the far left is a mythical creature in the US with fewer sightings than the Yowie.
