LAS VEGAS — After leaving the debate stage on Tuesday evening, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) helped shield MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell from a crush of cameramen that nearly knocked her down as they sought to get him on video.

The incident occurred in a hallway just outside the spin room at the Wynn Las Vegas, where candidates and their surrogates spoke to the press following the Democratic presidential debate.

”You all right?” Sanders asked. “Are you OK?”
After checking in with Mitchell, Sanders continued admonishing the crowd to move back.

“All right! You know, excuse me! Please move back! You’ve almost injured —“ Sanders said before trailing off and turning back to Mitchell.

”Are you all right?” he asked again.

”Yeah,” Mitchell confirmed. “I’m OK.”

Here's Mitchell's last interview with Sanders where she was unable to drag him into mudslinging:

7. I know how she feels.

I was almost crushed at a concert, still makes me sweat thinking about it.

[Kalidurga]

3. That was kind of scary to watch.

I didn't realize how small she is and how easy she can be literally crushed by a mass of people. I am so glad Bernie noticed and helped her out, no one should have to go through that.

14. If the press had been roped off, she would've had something to hold on to
