Bernie Sanders Saves Andrea Mitchell From Being Trampled After Debate

[kpete]

In the aftermath of the Democratic Party's first presidential debate Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) again stole the show from his rivals with the dramatic rescue of MSNBC reporter Andrea Mitchell.

Mitchell, along with the rest of the press pool, tried to catch a post-debate quip from the candidate who routinely draws crowds of tens of thousands wherever he goes.

At some point, Mitchell lost her footing and briefly appeared in danger of being trampled.

"All right! You know, excuse me! Please move back!" Sanders scolded the press "Will the cameras slow it down?"

"Are you all right?" he asked Mitchell several times; she responded that she was. "That was a dangerous situation." she said. " I apologize."

What a guy! I'm so proud to be a Bernie supporter! This, I think, has the potential to be a viral moment - like the "handshake" at the debate - that reveals Bernie is a man of character. Please, rec and share this on Facebook and Twitter so others can learn what Bernie did.

11. Bernie is my dad. He's just like my dad was in every way. I just got it. :D:D

Brave, rock hard integrity, smart as hell, cares about EVERYONE, a gentleman and decent to a fault. My dad. Alan Murray Bishop, 1927-2006.

4. Not surprised he would do something like that

5. I will try really hard to forgive Bernie for this incident...

Sometimes you should just stand back and watch.

8. He probably got tired of fantasizing about trucks running down

journalists decades ago. She's a little old to take trampling well, so good for Bernie. Really, it's only what I'd expect from him or anyone else on that stage.

6. Was that before or after she trashed him with Chris Matthews? nt

7. by the way, Andrea

remember when i kicked your husband's ass in congressional hearings? Good times!

9. omg, I honestly thought this would be from the Onion!

10. She interviewed him immediately after -- and it's pretty dramatic. you hear her yelling "help help"

She said she was getting "hammered"

Here is the MSNBC video, which shows the interview after, in which she leads with, "You really lit a fire tonight"
