A reporter is challenging Sanders to "leave" the Dem Party. Sanders bellows, "Excuse me!" and threatens to toss him if he keeps interrupting

and he said nothing to us. He let BLM have the podium. We were all there to see him, but he disrespected us by not even trying to speak to us.

Prior she had met with members of BLM and stated she would only talk to white people , this is one platform she has remained consistent on

If the "reporter" (who, by the very definition of being a "reporter" has already crossed the line by suggesting ANYTHING TO ANYONE instead of REPORTING) is actually a disruptor and NOT an unbiased reporter, then they have NO place being anywhere under false pretenses.

Usually, gt, you're better than this. I consider you a worthy opponent. But this is, I'm sorry, lame.

Reporters are notorious for pulling this "gotcha question" crap. What is suprising is Bernie volunteering for this abuse just 3 days before the California primary.

This is a weird move by Bernie. Not unlike the trip to see the Pope before the NY primary....

Hmmmm?

Considering the adverserial nature of press conferences, why have one unless you need to?

I know you want to keep make a false equivalence between Hillary and Bernie and press conferences but It doesn't answer the question of why?

are examples of what Clinton supporters consider journalism to be. Instead of asking a questions that "reporter" is just echoing talking points and not even in a form of a question. And Clinton drones lap it up like it is some Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.
