WATCH: Fox Reporter Shoves Mic At Bernie Sanders During Ambush Interview

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) shouted "don't push me!" after a Fox News reporter ambushed him and repeatedly shoved a microphone at the Democratic presidential candidate as part of a segment that aired Monday night on "The O'Reilly Factor."

Reporter Jesse Watters, who routinely takes part in ambush interviews for subjects who decline to speak to Fox News, tracked down Sanders in Washington and peppered him with questions about declining to go on host Bill O'Reilly's show.

"I don’t do ambush interviews, so if you want to talk to us, there’s my press secretary,” Sanders said as Watters followed him down a hall.

“Well, I do do ambush interviews and I just had a question for you,” Watters replied as he shoved the microphone at Sanders.

He is a horrible, horrible person.

His specialty is trying to make "liberals" look stupid.

I watched him "auditioning" on some Fox show. He is hideous. Takes ultra-rightist stands. Even embarrasses his Fox co-hosts.

This video shows the cowardice and dishonesty with which O'Reilly and his ilk conduct their entertainment shows. Is this your comment, or are you saying that Sanders is uncooperative or unapproachable?
