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.
Most would have been alarmed and run the other direction. Bernie’s instinct was to assist, and that’s admirable!
I think he’s a good man - with some really unworkable ideas...
Bernie seems like a good, decent guy. Except for his sexual fantasies, yech. I don’t think he wishes people swooning around him like the One and his Greek columns.
