2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSanders campaign issues two entirely different excuses for walk out.
Bernie Sanders today walked right out of an on-camera interview over a question about his wife and Arizonas most vocal racist, Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
The actual question isnt contained in the 12 News report about Sanders abrupt dismissal, but its clear the reporter, Brahm Resnick, asked something about the surprise meeting Sanders wife Jane had earlier this week with Arpaio at Arpaios much-maligned Tent City.
What Joe Arpaio is doing is an outrage, Sanders said in response. My wife went to look at the so-called tent city, which is something that should not exist, he added, referencing a jail operated by the Maricopa County sheriff that is fashioned from military tents. The fact that he crashed her meeting is, to me, very, very wrong, not something he should have done. Thank you very much.
Although Sanders camp now says he left because the interview went over its allotted four-minute time slota more presidential response, to be surebut his rapid response director also tweeted that Sanders ended the interview after a reporter goes after his wife.

(30,058 posts)Did the four minutes get decided when this was his exit time or was there a true limit on the interview. The news source will be able to provide that information.

(5,636 posts)Why does anyone care about Sanders walking out of a local news interview. He didn't storm out. He thanked the person. Maybe he was a little abrupt, but is being less abrupt a criteria for president now?
