Bernie Sanders is falling far behind Joe Biden in the democratic primary race and has decided to steal some of his opponents moves. Crazy Joe flips out on voters and reporters on a regular basis and it’s done nothing but propel his campaign. Bernie figured he’d give it a try and went ballistic on a CNN reporter, which would be a hate crime if a Republican did it. Now the Sanders camp plays the waiting game to see if this helps Bernie’s failing presidential bid.
Finally there is something interesting from CNN:
Sen. Bernie Sanders grew angry when asked about his campaign plans. During a gaggle with reporters in the Capitol, I asked Sanders about his timeframe for making a decision, and he lashed out: “I’m dealing with a fucking global crisis. You know, we’re dealing with.”

I noted he’s running for president, and he said: “Well right now, right now I’m trying to do my best to make sure that we don’t have an economic meltdown and that people don’t die. Is that enough for you to keep me busy for today?”

The blowup occurred about half way through a five-minute gaggle where Sanders talked about the “unprecedented crisis of our lifetime,” calling for a range of measures that the U.S. government should take in the midst of the economic crisis.

Then @LisaMascaro asked what he’s saying to his supporters, and he sidestepped the question, noting he’s sent out a statement. Then, I asked about his timeframe — and he was furious
Afterwards, he mellowed out and answered questions about the crisis for about two more minutes.

You know things are getting desperate when lefties are losing their shit with the liberal media. Thankfully the partnership (collusion) between democrats and the fake news is still in place and Bernie won’t face any repercussions from this outburst.
We don’t actually have to play the “what if” game here to see what would happen if a Republican did it, because a Republican did it with this same exact CNN reporter.
Back in January, Republican Senator Martha McSally called reporter Manu Raju a “liberal hack.”

The reaction from CNN was a river of tears and McSally was accused of racism. Bernie is somehow whiter than McSally but there hasn’t been a similar accusation of him being a racist for yelling at this non-white CNN reporter.
Bernie has taken a page out of Joe Biden’s playbook by flipping out a reporter, but he should take it further. Bernie should start sniffing women’s hair, fondling little girls, letting children rub his hairy legs, forgetting where he is, lying about his record, and babbling incoherently. Hey, it’s done wonders for Crazy Joe’s campaign so why not give it a shot?
