Marianne Williamson echoes Andrew Yang, says her mic was 'not on' during NBC debate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Marianne Williamson has echoed her fellow 2020 candidate Andrew Yang, complaining that her mic was not on during Thursday night's Democratic primary debate.

Williamson was interacting with fans on Twitter late Friday night and was asked about the "rumors" that mics weren't working for certain candidates. She confirmed that she was one of them.

"As much fun as I've had laughing at all the understandable hilarious tweets about me today, the mic issue is not funny and yes it did happen," Williamson tweeted. "I tried a couple of times to jump in and my mic was not on. Particularly wanted in on the subject of race."

NBC News did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment, but previously denied any mics were tampered with in response to Yang's claim.

"At no point during the debate was any candidate's microphone turned off or muted," NBC News said in a statement.

I don't know. I heard her well enough. She stood out because the debate was the first time I ever saw or heard of her.

1. They also placed Biden, Harris and Sanders in the middle

I don't doubt they silenced the outliers.

[tritsofme]

10. No reason to pretend minor candidates aren't minor candidates.

Many should never have been there to begin with.

[Agschmid]

13. ... they are leading in the polls.

Why should they not be in the center?

[Beringia]

18. It can become a feedback loop

The way MSM will only print certain stories.

[Honeycombe8]

16. They place the ones with the highest numbers in the center. Always have. Both parties.

That's why newcomer Trump was close to the center in Republican debates and Rand Paul was on the end.

2. conspiracy theories from those who should not have been

there in the first place.

5. How I feel about it.

I've heard of her before. I don't think she had any place there at all.

[customerserviceguy]

20. She had one function

comic relief. We're going to miss that in later debates if the candidates start getting down and dirty with each other.

[Honeycombe8]

17. But if they're allowed to be there, the rules for them should apply.

Otherwise, don't let them be there. They paid their dues to get there.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

22. NBC denied cutting her mike.

[Honeycombe8]

33. I know. But NBC may not be aware of it. Remember there was a problem w/the mike @ 1st debate?

Mike problems happen frequently. I don't think someone would have intentionally cut the mikes off, but could have happened temporarily.

Coincidentally the mikes of the last two alphabetically of the names of the candidates? Coincidence?

Remember someone accidentally left the mikes open in the 1st debate, catching moderators talking to each other? Could be someone accidenally flipped the switch, or didn't flip the switch, for the last two on the list of names. W and Y.

Mysterious.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

34. Maybe she didn't love her mike enough.

[Honeycombe8]

35. LOL. nt

[Me.]

29. Quite

THis was not a Recon/Faux debate. She met the standard that allowed her to be on the stage and that should be respected whether you like her or not.

[Bradshaw3]

32. Williamson is right in her wheelhouse

She trades in loony conspiracy theories. They worked the system the Dems set up and ended up on stage while legitimate candidates like Bullock were left out. Like yoy said, should not have been there in the first place.

3. If it happened to either one, it shouldn't have...I don't think she belongs there, but she was so...

Once qualified to be there they should all be treated fairly.

Admittedly, though I surely wanted to stop the interrupting and cross-talk between Gillibrand, Swalwell, and occasionally Yang

[Mme. Defarge]

4. Unfortunately

it was. On.

[Lefta Dissenter]

6. Touche ! (N/t)

(DU won’t accept the accent in touché in the subject line! )

[Mme. Defarge]

7. Je sais!

Tell me about it!

[Rebl2]

11. Yep unfortunately

I heard her just fine. Never heard of her before until Thursday.

[Mme. Defarge]

12. Once was enough.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. You beat me to it.

[underpants]

28. Hey!

😆😁

[Irishxs]

8. What? You mean they couldn't say, "Hey! No mike!". I don't believe it.

[redstateblues]

9. Sorry. There should be a higher bar to be included in these debates

It’s ridiculous to see the free for all moments when everybody is talking

[RainCaster]

14. Two problems here

1. We had to many kooks. This doesn't look good for us dems.

2. The moderators needed to have and use a mute button. We needed that two years ago, and it's only gotten worse.

[Turin_C3PO]

15. Williamson

was the only one who might be labeled a “kook”. Who else?

[RainCaster]

23. Nobody else was as nutty as Marianne

Certainly none come to my memory anyhow. But there were so many outliers on Thursday night. It's a if somebody chose to put the front runners with a whole lot of also rans. Wednesday night had lots of those from the middle of the pack.

If this group can be pared to half by the next debate, we would have far more money to fight against the GOP instead of each other.

[IluvPitties]

19. Marianne and Yang are good people, but...

They need to give it up.

[brooklynite]

21. Why didn't she astrally project to another podium?

27. Ha ha!

Good to see you on board with Mayor Pete!

[Curky]

24. She and Yang are pushing a dangerous "rigged" meme

These is something Russian trolls would do.
The anti-vaxxer and Yang need to relax.

[MustLoveBeagles]

30. I heard her

I don't know what the hell she's talking about.

[octoberlib]

31. I don't believe this . I heard her jump in when she

wasn’t up. She also tweeted that the only reason Kamala cut in and said what she did to Joe Biden was because Kamala was trying to avoid the reparations question that hadjust been asked. Williamson deleted the tweet shortly after.
