1. Great!

...

[Cha]

5. yeah.. "great".. it's not a good look

[DanTex]

9. Right? Like it's supposed to be bad that Bernie doesn't play along with a FOX reporter's games?

What is happening here?

[dware]

13. When you can't attack the message,

you attack the messenger.

It was a legitimate question, no matter who asked it and BS refused to answer, thereby insinuating that he approved of it.

[DanTex]

14. And now we're defending FOX News as a "messenger".

[dware]

18. I'm saying it was a legitimate question,

no matter who asked it and your man Bernie ran away from it.

I've no doubt that he approved of the booing.

[sheshe2]

36. Did you...

Did you approve his holding a Town Hall on Fox News? He was the first Democrat to ever do so. Did you approve that message?

[R B Garr]

48. LOL, Boom! Bernie's Fox News townhalls.

Great reminder, she!

[George II]

59. Bazinga!

[Cha]

37. BS was in a Town Hall on Fox.. EEEKKK!

[sheshe2]

63. Uuuum.

Bernie did a Town Hall on FOX News. Remember that?

I am not defending them at all, yet the hypocrisy to do a Town Hall then refuse to answer a question from them is...well, cray. He answered all there questions that night.

He has a history of walking away from questions he does not like.

[James48]

56. No, it does NOT insinuate he approves of it.

He doesn’t have to answer FOX news questions thrown at him while walking.

He may not have heard the question.

He may have had his attention focused elsewhere.

We don’t know, and to say, as this poster does, and “Sanders addresses...” is factually incorrect- Sanders did NOT address that issue in the clip.

False advertising.

[dware]

58. Yes, it does imply he approves of it,

because he hasn't come out and said anything against it yet, and he's had plenty of opportunities to do so.

[calguy]

31. What is happening here? You ask?

What's happening here is once again you seem to be apologizing for Bernie's shortcomings.
Same stuff, different post.

[dware]

32. He still claims he's undecided, but

I think it's pretty clear who his preferred candidate is.

[DanTex]

33. What's happening is that a FOX clip is being used to attack a Dem candidate.

I remember when Bill O'Reilly would send people out to pester Dems and liberals to try and get some out of context thing to "get them". I also remember when DU understood that.

[dware]

34. Wrong again.

What's actually happening is that your man Bernie was asked a legitimate question and instead of answering it, he ran away from it, thereby implying that he approved of the HRC bashing.

Yeah, that's real leadership.

[sheshe2]

41. Welp.

Bernie Sanders’ Fox News Town Hall: Smart Play Or Democratic Betrayal? | Deadline | MSNBC

[DanTex]

42. Attacking Trump on his home turf. Go Bernie!

[sheshe2]

44. ???????????????????????????

[DanTex]

46. I see your ??? and raise you ??????? No idea what your point is.

[dware]

45. Hypocritical much?

On the one hand, you slam a Fox News reporter for asking a legitimate question and defend your man Bernie for running away from it, yet, on the other hand, you praise your man Bernie for appearing on Fox News.

[DanTex]

47. Huh? You don't know the difference between a town hall and a drive-by reporter question?

[dware]

51. Huh?

You don't know the meaning of the word hypocritical?

He was ok going on Fox News for a Town Hall meeting, but he was scared of a question by a Fox News reporter?

[DanTex]

57. A town hall is totally different from a drive-by.

I have no idea why anyone would consider them remotely similar. Whatever it takes to attack Bernie, I guess.

[sheshe2]

65. +1

[Hassin Bin Sober]

35. Yep. He's a better man than me. I would tell that fox reporter to kiss my ass.

But Bernie is a diplomat.

[dware]

39. No, Bernie didn't want to answer a difficult question,

so he ran away from it, thereby implying that he approved of it.

[sheshe2]

43. He had a Town Hall on Fox News.

No problem talking to them then.

[Cha]

67. uh huh

[George II]

62. He was walking through a group of reporters, all asking him questions as they do in situations....

...like that. It could have been an NBC reporter, a CBS reporter, etc. I'm sure he wasn't even aware of who specifically asked the question.

He evaded all of their questions. And now, a day later he still hasn't apologized for what HIS surrogate did at one of HIS events.

[OneMoreCupOfCoffee]

2. Not a good look.

[Cha]

3. "BS did Not Respond".. how is that "addressing it"?

[Me.]

10. THat's What I Was Wondering

[Cha]

24. Aloha, Me..

[TwilightZone]

4. Probably smart not to respond.

Particularly if his response would have been to support it.

[Blue_true]

6. I am getting the sense that the Sanders campaign knows that something has gone off the

rails for them and are doing desperate and ultimately counter-productive things.

[lapucelle]

7. He doesn't have an answer, so he hightailed it.

What leadership!

[DanTex]

8. Madeleine Rivera: Multimedia reporter/2020 campaign embed @FoxNews. Really?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. So that means the story is false?

[DanTex]

12. It means good for Bernie for not falling for a FOX reporter trying to score a "gotcha".

Was a time whan FOX's tactics were looked down on here. But Bernie's poll numbers are looking good, and so the barrel is being scraped.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. She could have made up a response that made him look bad.

She didn't. She reported only that he didn't respond, which can be taken in more than one way. Not all Fox field reporters report fake news. Video doesn't lie.

[DanTex]

19. Could have done a lot of things. But Bernie wasn't playing the FOX game. Good for him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Bernie never does anything wrong and never makes a mistake.

Right?

[DanTex]

21. Sure he does. But ignoring FOX News trying to score a "point" isn't one of them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. Would you say the same thing if the reporter had been from MSNBC,

and had asked the very same question and received the same response? Or would that be a gotcha question from the Biased Corporate Media too?

[DanTex]

30. Obviously, in that case I wouldn't bring up that the reporter was from FOX, because the reporter

would not have been from FOX.

But, yeah, corporate media is anti-Bernie lots of the time. This is obvious. Did you see the "body language specialist" that Joy Reid had on? THAT was hilarious!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

38. You know you can't trust turtles. Just think of Mitch McConnell.

[DanTex]

40. LOL.

[dware]

22. No, your man Bernie was playing the run away from a

difficult question game.

[Cha]

27. That's exactly what happened and no amount of

spinning can change it

[sheshe2]

49. He had now problem doing a Town Hall with them. nt

[DanTex]

50. That's correct. Not sure what your point is.

[dware]

52. The point is he has a problem answering a legitimate question,

because, as you say, it was a Fox News reporter, however, he probably would have run away from the question no matter who asked the question.

[dware]

54. I will give you kudos for being very civil throughout this conversation.

[George II]

26. Was it a fake video? Why hasn't Sanders addressed this yet?

[TwilightZone]

15. Interesting Obama- and Clinton-bashing by a Sanders supporter in that thread.

From "Linda- #Bernie2020"

"I will die before I vote for the lesser of 2 evils again! I voted for 8 years of Hope & Change and got the shaft along with the rest of America."

"Every time @HillaryClinton shows her narcissistic face she says every nasty thing she can about Bernie, who held 39 rallies for her and begged his supporters to vote for her. I did vote for her, ONLY because Bernie asked me to. I am SO SORRY I did! She needs to shut the F* up!"

Link to tweet

On Edit: she then whines about the lack of unity. Huh, that sounds familiar.

[sheshe2]

55. They keep coming up with that 39 number.

The convention ended on 07/28/16. He took the month of August to write a book. When were the 39 rallies?

[Thekaspervote]

16. Typical!!

[emmaverybo]

25. Non-response means all fine with him. Saying nothing says it all.

[RandySF]

28. He didn't.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. The attitude Democrats should have towards other Democrats?

I guessing that only holds when all involved parties call themselves Democrats.

[quickesst]

53. we have to remember....

.... That anything one of Bernie's supporters says, whether it be a talk show, rally, or any other public gathering in which Bernie Sanders is the main focus cannot be attributed to him unless it results in a positive uptick for his campaign. Anything that is received as a negative for him doesn't mean anything because it did not come from Bernie Sanders own mouth. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?

[betsuni]

69. Even things that come from Bernie's own mouth.

Quoting him is "bashing." If unfortunate (often), things he says are either ignored or met with a "What he really means is ... ." Amazing!

[quickesst]

71. yeah

Bernie's a complicated guy.

[NurseJackie]

60. Oh good! I was looking for this OP earlier and couldn't find it.

This certainly reveals much... but what it reveals isn't at all flattering to BS.

[NYMinute]

61. No decency to apologize?

Hillary, as a former first lady, former senator, former SOS and former Democratic nominee for POTUS should be respected despite political differences.

Not condemning her getting boo'ed is petulant, juvenile, un-statesmanly and not presidential at all.

We already have a petulant child in the white house.

[NYMinute]

66. ++++++++

[NCProgressive]

68. Come on Bernie - prove you're not vindictive and a misogynist

Say the incident was shameful and regrettable.

[betsuni]

70. K&R

[Tarheel_Dem]

72. Is this his brand of leadership?

And how is it different from what we have right now?
