Disabled, divorced, with a degree, working several jobs yet making less than $10,000 a year. Struggling to pay bills. Unable to buy presents for her children. Waiting for her disability to come through. Dependent on her parents. That was the sad story that a woman told Bernie Sanders at an event in Iowa yesterday.
On today's Morning Joe, after airing that clip, an obviously moved Mika Brzezinski challenged the panel as to who between Sanders and Hillary Clinton would "be there" for the woman. Mika didn't answer the question herself, though she has been a Bernie booster.

Liberals who are “there” for struggling Americans only make things worse for them. Capitalism is what will really be there to lift people out of poverty.
But liberals like Mika who lead with their emotions don’t get that.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Liar —— a planted liar
It is almost impossible to work several jobs and not make 10K a year.
Boo friggin hoo
Even if this story is true, everyone gets down... I been there... I quit whining and pulled myself out, WITHOUT the dang government. Without deciding on my vote according to who can give me the most free stuff.
At least - not supposed to be...
If she is working several jobs, how does she have the time to go to a Bernie event? And how does one work several jobs and make less than $10,000/year? Makes no sense.
If she worked one full-time job at minimum wage, she’d still make over $15K/year.
She must only work sporadically, or her story is bunkum.
She’s probably “working several jobs” as a Democrat campaign plant.
She has a disability and works two jobs? What is her disability?
Couple of questions come to mind: how and what kind of disabilities? Getting any alimony from former husband??
‘It is almost impossible to work several jobs and not make 10K a year.’
Unless you have certain medical conditions. I knew someone with bronchial asthma that gets highly inflamed when exposed to a virus. Puts that person out for weeks at a time.
“It is almost impossible to work several jobs and not make 10K a year.”
Minimum wage @ $7.25/hr for 40 hr a week is $15K!
Plus I’m sure she gets EIC which is several grand.
I watched a short portion or the townhall last night.
Bernie Sanders was asked to define “democratic socialism”.
Sanders explained how Europe provides all these “rights” like healthcare or education.
Never was Sanders challenged regarding the huge taxes Europeans pay for these free “rights”.
The media is the largest lobbyist organization in the USA. The second largest lobbyist organization is the government employees.
No wonder we taxpayers are becoming poorer and poorer every day when we have two huge organizations taking our money away.
her name is Janice Soprano
i call BS on this sob drama queen. either she’s making significantly less than minimum wage, or her four jobs are not even the equivalent of full time. and if she is below 10k/year, isn’t she eligible for all sorts of government handouts already?
I think her left wrist brace gave her away ...
She probably ‘did’ attend several jobs in order to milk the worker’s comp angle . . .
She probably ‘did’ attend several jobs to game the tax break system . . .
Didn’t say how many kids she ‘had’ . . .
She probably ‘does’ have a degree, but in ‘what’ . . . milking the system? . . .
Probably figured out how to get free tuition . . .
Was interesting to see her ‘placement’ in the audience to
provide easy access for the microphone guy . . .
Methinks she was just another demon-rat shill taking up too much oxygen and donating too much carbon dioxide . . .
so sad . . .
she needs to take lessons on how to generate fake tears . . .
The banner reads, “Sanders ASKS for stories of struggles to live off $10,000.00.”
Miracously, someone in the audience met his requirement.
And she has a degree, too. Well, if it is in Native American, Black, or Womyn’s Studies, I guess I can see her situation.
\S
She kept wiping away tears that didn’t exist.
What’s up with that?
Plus, she had 5 jobs at once.
Can you say white privilege?
