Hey, Can't You Take A Joke?

I know politicians are weasels, but this is a bit much.

Clinton operatives have warned donors not to contribute to other campaigns, and put a price on disloyalty: early supporters will be valued and latecomers scorned.
…

The Clinton campaign denies that it has strong-armed anyone, saying the warnings were made in jest.

Those Clintonites have such a wacky sense of humor!
