(797 posts)Of course you could just believe the NYT reporter's opinion on what Bernie's speech was about where he did not use quotes or you could believe your ears and listen to the speech.
Bernie did not say the words "future star" or "rising star". On a more fundamental level, Bernie did not state imply or suggest that Mello was the future of the Democratic Party although he said it was important to vote for Mello and that it was an important vote but again not in the context that Mello or Mello's is the future of the party. His speech was on the issues he usually speaks about: inequality and climate change and the need to make the Democratic Party a grass roots coalition to beat the republicans.
On another post, I gave you an actual quote of Bernie's from an article that itself used quotes to say Bernie said those words (rather than the columnist's interpretation or summary). Again, in the actual quotes, Bernie is accepting about Mello in a deep red state which is a far cry from trying to push Mello as a "future star".
So again, are you finally going to possibly understand that adding your own quotes to a newspaper article that does not put the words in quotes is misleading and that sometimes columnists are not being exact in their reporting of speeches.
Again, here is the link, go to the source and prove me wrong. Prove that Bernie Sanders said "future star" at the event.
