Ahead of Phoenix Rally, Sanders Abruptly Ends 12 News interview


PHOENIX - Sen. Bernie Sanders is returning to Phoenix for another rally on Saturday night, and we sat down with him Thursday. Briefly.

We met up with Sanders before a Thursday speech at the Twin Arrows Casino on the Navajo Nation.

We discussed his wife's recent visit to Tent City, his votes on gun legislation, border issues, and why he's optimistic about his chances in Arizona.

Then the senator abruptly ended the interview, saying our time was up.

The full interview will air this weekend on Sunday Square Off at 8 a.m.

1. What ever the interviewer said about that sherriff ticked off Bernie

and that is why he left. He said thank you very much and left. They are biased as hell. Bernie was standing up for his wife. Will see when the interview is fully aired what the interviewer was saying to him that upset Bernie. But the way it is worded is just nasty.

But the Hillary group is trying to make it seem like Bernie did some horrible thing. Geeze Hillary was horrible in treatment of that student...remember. The stuff is flying around here and on that station.

[shenmue]

38. Bzzzzt

That's not the answer!

[still_one]

2. I only heard the audio to the interview, and his answers were good, but if he broke off the

interview as described, that does not serve him well, and he should not have done it that way.

The interviews are not going to get any easier, and if Bernie is the nominee he can't do that

[Person 2713]

3. He did an interview . this is late breaking news?It's enough of an interview they are airing it on

Saturday night and this post mentions four different subjects they covered. They asked him about Sheriff Joe and he didn't want to play anymore. Glad to see he smelled BS and left. I'd like to see the whole interview and where it was going with it being AZ
But,....This is late breaking news ?

[KittyWampus]

7. He walked out of it, mid-interview.

[merrily]

12. Baloney. A reporter never decides when an interview ends. And ending an interview is not news.

The desperation to manufacture dirt on Sanders is entertaining!

[snooper2]

20. Bernie can do no wrong dammit! He can do no wrong! Why don't people get it!

Starting to piss me off

[merrily]

31. Every human can do wrong, but making a fuss over a politician in the middle of a primary

ending an interview is beyond ridiculous and stinks of desperation flop sweat. Sorry to be the one to have to break that news to you so late in the game.

[floriduck]

77. Hill's Reagan AIDS comments were far worse.

She had to apologize. Bernie doesn't need to for this minor concern.

[motionspotlight]

80. Her statements were weird, historical revisionism, why?

[OwlinAZ]

86. She makes it up

as she goes along. Don't know why. She's smart enough to stick to the truth.

[Hissyspit]

33. It's hardly latest breaking news, it seems to me.

[Person 2713]

72. It's not entertaining IMO. Esp to people who come here for their LBN

It's BS tabloid level which is what I try to avoid by using this source , sigh
Sanders or Clinton blew their nose ! Horror Story!

I have GD Primaries blocked for a reason . This is not LBN

[merrily]

78. FYI, the reporter had 4 minutes and had gone over. NEWS!

[Owl]

81. ^this^ exactly.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

89. he told the reporterror he would give him 4 minutes and he did. That's not mid interview

when the reporter tries to go over the alloted time. Bernie does have a campaign to run and a schedule to keep.

[George II]

65. I think he was more upset with his wife meeting with Arpaio, and didn't like being......

.....reminded of it.

Hopefully that appearance of her smiling and being nice to the Sheriff will end the constant posting of a picture of GOVERNOR Bill Clinton sitting with GOVERNOR Wallace and George Bush at a meeting of GOVERNORS from 30+ years ago.

[greymouse]

87. not the way I heard it

Dr. Sanders pinned the Sheriff's ears back, is what I heard.

[FailureToCommunicate]

4. They'll probably edit the question that made Bernie realize the time was up, but it sounded

like reporter Brahm Resnik had repeatedly asked whether Bernie would settle for the VP spot under Hillary.

[merrily]

13. Or, the time may have been up, no matter how much of an ass the interviewer was being.

He's in the middle of a tough campaign, ffs.

By the way, did Mook make up that list of questions?

[George II]

88. That was only after Sanders got up and was taking off his microphone. The video is on Youtube....

...you can watch it yourself.

[jtuck004]

5. Questions about the racist asshole Arpaio, who is a big fan of the real estate swindler, were

moving from eliciting info to being critical of their viewpoint about Arpie's Guantanamo in the desert.;

The typical bully, their ditzy sheriff broke up her meeting with an activist to inject his racist opinion and defend his racial cleansing operation.

"http://www.12news.com/news/politics/jane-sanders-meets-with-sheriff-joe-arpaio-tours-tent-city/82814617"

The only thing he is missing is a way to gas everyone.

President Sanders probably had to rush to take a shower, to get the stink of that town that lets this go on off of him.

[lagomorph777]

9. Arpaio is evil

I'm glad Bernie's wife went to draw attention to Arpaio's concentration camp (he proudly says "I already have a concentration camp!" in this clip).

Don't know why Bernie terminated the interview - will have to see the whole thing to figure out whether it's a trick the TV station is playing.

[appalachiablue]

6. This isn't LBN.

[question everything]

14. It would if it was about Hillary, though

[Hissyspit]

34. No, it wouldn't.

[riversedge]

60. #vettingBernie Not good temperament for Comander-in-Chief TWEET

[Gore1FL]

74. Golly! n/t

[nichomachus]

8. More polticians need to do this -- good for him

Why subject yourself to biased fake journalism?

Good for Bernie. He has principles and sticks to them.

[merrily]

10. OMFG. He did not spend all day with someone from 12news during a campaign? No end to the evil!1!!1

[arcane1]

11. This is Latest Breaking News?

Clutch those pearls!

Grasp those straws!

[appalachiablue]

16. The audacity, the gall of people anymore! What's becoming of the nation with this behavior?!

[merrily]

23. I made my second donation this week, fourth this month, less than an hour ago.

Oh, if only I had known that a man in the middle of a low down primary battle would end an interview before I did that. I hate enabling! Sanders should have made room in this life for this interviewer. Is legal adoption really that hard? smh

[appalachiablue]

32. Shattering what he did, to a local AZ reporter. If only I'd known. How can a person ever recover..

[merrily]

39. Apparently, posters from all over the US and the world are astonied by this.

It must be VERY important.

[appalachiablue]

67. Yep, they got him. DEvastating, I can hardly function now...not. What a crock.

[merrily]

17. Huh? An interview actually ENDED. Bernie didn't spend all day with the interviewer. O, the Humanity

It's Lakewood NJ in Arizona all over again!

Have you no priorities? No sense of what is really newsworthy in a primary campaign.

I could not possibly be more disgusted by your post. I'll gladly take the hide I know this post will get because I refuse to insult DU by adding the sarcasm emote to a post that is so obviously sarcastic.

[shenmue]

51. Changing the subject is not an argument

[left-of-center2012]

18. Dumping more dirt on Bernie isn't "Breaking News!"

It's just more of the same-old same-old,
the same-old horse pucky.

[Surya Gayatri]

19. Expect more of this impestuous behavior. Loose cannon, heavy political seas. Disaster in the making.

[merrily]

24. That's a lot of bilge, all right!

[Surya Gayatri]

49. Hard to swallow, I grant you! LOL!

[merrily]

53. Don't be so modest. You did fine.

[Surya Gayatri]

62. Non sequitur...

[merrily]

63. Your missing the connection doesn't make it a non sequitur. Hopefully, other readers will add 1+1

and get 2.

[Surya Gayatri]

64. Oooooo, 1+1=2 is indeed a MODEST hypothesis. (or some such...)

[RoccoR5955]

69. It certainly is hard to swallow bilge water

Many of us have been doing it for many years from those who called themselves Democrats, but behaved more and more like RepubliCONs!

[Odin2005]

82. I think you are having too much pun!

[merrily]

83. It's so much better than the alternative.

[Hiraeth]

26. you also: welcome to ignore.

[Surya Gayatri]

46. Badge of honor...we thanks ye.

[left-of-center2012]

21. Clinton fans are loving it, blowing it out of proportion

Bernie loses it! Rips off mic and storms out of interview!!!!

[pangaia]

50. Holy crap... What is with that??

[Kittycat]

68. Seriously. Has she talked to her press crew lately, btw?

Or does she still have them on full ignore.

[frylock]

22. Oh, the humanity.

[merrily]

27. I have actually been to Lakewood NJ.

Granted, it was only to get off a bus and into a car, but I would never have joked about it....before I saw this OP.

[Hiraeth]

25. welcome to ignore.

[hrmjustin]

29. Lol.

[Hiraeth]

35. oh thanks. almost forgot about you and all your inane comments that

I have ignored a long the way.why bother with that?

Now, You are poof. out of sight. out of mind.

My time is too valuable to waste on the likes of you and your ilk.

[hrmjustin]

37. Don't make me laugh, I have chapped lips!

[Hiraeth]

43. bless it probably from kissing ass

[hrmjustin]

45. Oh dear someone is having a moment.

I had one too.

Never change Tue...Hiraeth

[ismnotwasm]

66. What happened to you?

Seriously?

[snooper2]

41. I was wondering what a Hiraeth was but it isn't a word

[Plucketeer]

28. Anyone here who still has posting rights in the Hillary Group?

If so, could someone ask over there about Bill's polling place bullhorning? I'd love to hear what they have to say about that.

[merrily]

52. In Massachusetts? Where officials assured media no laws had been broken without ever investigating?

I'm in Boston. That was an eye opener. At least the Secretary of State made some remark about it being annoying. He did not only bullhorn outside. In Newton, he actually entered the small area where people were on line to vote, so small that opening the door put him abouit four feet away from people in line. Unbelievable! But, of course, no one recognized him or knew why he was there, so it was fine, as long as he didn't say, "Vote for my wyyfe."

[pangaia]

54. I do. But, I only because I learned to stay far, far away..

[appalachiablue]

59. Whatever do you mean, unpresidential? lol

[hrmjustin]

30. Not very presidential. Btw this is appropriate for this forum.

[Hissyspit]

36. Oh, good grief.

[hrmjustin]

40. I agree good grief.

[merrily]

48. I know, right?

[pangaia]

55. Oh, lord bless us....

[hrmjustin]

56. I certainly hope so.

[SunSeeker]

42. Glad he also asked Bernie about the Minuteman bill.

Of course, Bernie did not explain why he voted for the bill, he only deflected.

Given the campaign-damaging issues raised, I guess he had to skidaddle.

Of course, he must also have been exhausted, having to endure a whole 4 minute interview, LOL.

[Hissyspit]

44. Can you check his schedule today?

Maybe he only had time for a four-minute interview.

Seriously though, I can't tell why he ended the interview from that clip.

[Surya Gayatri]

61. Whoa....reality bites! I'm outta here!

[Hissyspit]

84. That's not really what happened,

best I can tell by the highly edited video.

[bernbabe]

47. Oh yeah, that Bernie is such a mean guy.

[riversedge]

58. When a Presidential candidate walks out of an interview--it is LBN.

Bernie Sanders walks out of another interview--http://www.12news.com/mb/news/12-news-one-on-one-with-bernie-sanders/87672745 #vettingBernie Not good temperament for Comander-in-Chief #ImwithHer

[RoccoR5955]

70. Yeah. not as good leadership techniques

as lying, or "mis-speaking," I suppose.

[FailureToCommunicate]

71. How many time are you going to post the same thing in one thread? Your partisanship

is showing.

[Gore1FL]

75. No it's not, unless you feel desperate. n/t

[Viva_La_Revolution]

73. i cant get the video to play. nt

[Viva_La_Revolution]

76. found a better like with the truth

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sanders-walks-out-of-interview/article/2586213

[ConsiderThis_2016]

79. Lame stream media could not get enough sound bites... to bad.

Like he did after his NH victory, when he took 2 minutes out to fund raise $5,000,000... because he ain't got no super pacs. It was a very long victory speech, cuz he knew he had TV tube exposure and the MSM could not cut away or the blackout would of been so apparent, the internet would have blown up with social media. He foreseen the fallout potential of Iraq war fomenting ISIS and I'm sure he was a good judge of what this reporter was up to. He gave a mini stump speech then said thanks for the gumball Popeye... Next! Maybe the reporter should go see what's happening at the Bundy Ranch.
