"If We Win They Can't Act Like We Don't Exist": Bernie Sanders

[Uncle Joe]

In an almost over-the-top in your face moment on Wednesday night before the Democratic debate in Atlanta, a supporter of 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday was blocked from television cameras as a more conservative voter was being interviewed.

The video, which was captured by activist Devon Lamoreaux, shows an NBC News reporter interviewing a voter concerned over so-called fiscal responsibility as a woman in the background holding a sign supporting Sanders is acrobatically blocked by a large man.

"If we win they can't act like we don't exist," Lamoreaux added. "Never give up!"

While Sanders has struggled to get sustained coverage from the corporate media, leading many progressives to dub the silence around his campaign the #BernieBlackout, his campaign has relied on grassroots activists and independent media to get the message out.

1. I noticed this blackout watching this CNN and MSNBC this morning... maybe I just missed

it when he was on or discussed... it was peculiar. I had to miss 3/4 of the debate and wanted to get highlights of the candidates I’m interested in.
