Some facts:

1. It was soaring to the top of Greatest threads right before a major primary and caucus day
2. Everyone was going to see it clearly and obviously on the front page
3. It put Bernie Sanders in a very positive and feel-good light
4. It was getting lots and lots of attention and replies and 'recs'
5. It had already gotten over five thousand views

I don't know.

My opinion is that since the actual news in question WAS the video clip itself and it was FIRST seen on YouTube, then it should have been considered a foundational-source and a valid post for a LBN, but they said it didn't follow the terms of LBN. 'off topic' was what they noted

Of course this is a private site. The owners and their folks can do as they please.
