Watch: Bernie Sanders Tries to Help Man Who Collapses at Campaign Event
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/ ^

Posted on 02/05/2016 7:53:57 AM PST by marthemaria

Stand up moment for Bernie Sanders.

Sanders briefly halted a campaign event in New Hampshire Thursday to try to help a man who collapsed on stage.

"Oh my God," Sanders said when the man fell just after the Democratic presidential candidate was taking a question in Concord about the schedule of debates. The scary thump could be heard on video that captured the moment.

Sanders waited near the man until he was helped off the stage about a minute later.

The specifics of why the man had collapsed and his condition after walking away were not immediately clear.

The man was a supporter of Sanders who worked for the state chapter of the Sierra Club

The Vermont senator yelled at camera crews to back up when NBC News' Andrea Mitchell was reportedly nearly crushed by other members of the media following a Democratic debate in October.

Vegetarian or recreational drugs might be a reasonable guess.

He said “Oh, my God” and stood there. How is that helpful?

"Nearly crushed?"
Hell, what stopped them from finishing the job?

So now even Bernie is running the ol’ fainting/collapsing supporter gag, huh?

Probably fainted after hearing from Bernie how much he is going to have to pay in taxes if Bernie’s POTUS.

Apparently, Bernie has convinced the American people that only their “rich neighbors” will pay the taxes and they as “common men” will be exempt.

Hillary would’ve simply glanced over, given an annoyed look, cackled, and continued on with her speech.

Again? The Democrats specialize in stunts like this. All theater and no substance, all emotion and no facts.
Hillary will save a fainting victim next. In fact, I’m surprised Bernie’s campaign beat her to it!

Nobody hits the floor at a Kerry speech until the tasers come out.
