11. Andrea (Mrs Greenspan) is always hostile to Bernie
Sun Dec 27, 2015, 03:08 PM
Dec 2015

The history of antagonism probably dates back to Bernie's Congressional face to face, outspoken (and proven correct) attack on Greenspan's abject ineptitude while he was Fed Chair. I doubt either Greenspan ever recovered from that moment Allan Greenspan was called out on his reckless BS, made even more humiliating when Greenspan had to publicly admit in 2008 that he"d been arrogantly and completely wrong for years. The videos are on U-tube & probably Bernie's website.
Bernie has a long history of not bowing down before either King (on economics) or Queen (on foreign affairs) Greenspan. Every interview Andrea Mitchell does with Bernie is a premeditated and predictable ambush.
