Bernie Crowd SHUTS DOWN MSNBC Reporter Trying To Prove His Supporters AREN'T Registered Dems



This egg-in-face moment was way too late in coming.....she is just a negative piece of work....don't like her at all!.


MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt came up dry on Tuesday as she tried to prove supporters at a Bernie Sanders rally were not registered Democrats. Reporting from outside a Sanders rally in Syracuse, Hunt noted that the massive crowd was lining up five hours in advance to see the candidate.

“Here’s my question for you guys,” Hunt said, addressing the Sanders supporters on live TV. “And this is going to be Bernie Sanders’ main problem here in New York — are y’all registered Democrats?”

“Yes,” the group replied.

As Hunt moved down the line, the answer again and again was “yes.”

“Anyone not registered?” Hunt pleaded.

“I am registered!” one man volunteered.

“Alright, there you go,” Hunt sighed. “I spent some time talking to people yesterday at another rally, and a lot of them are all set to go. But there is this issue with independent voters. If you didn’t change your voter registration earlier this year, you’re out of luck if you want to change it now and vote for Bernie Sanders.”

On Monday, MSNBC’s Alex Seitz-Wald warned that “New York’s closed primary could be Bernie Sanders’ Achilles’ heel.”

“There is no same-day registration in the state,” Seitz-Wald explained. “Independents or members of third parties who want to vote as Democrats had to change their party registration by October 9.”

saying they had to change registration earlier this year, when it was 10-9 2015 (last year)

more than 6 months before the vote

looks like ny is the most non democratic state so far...those wealthy ny party insiders do not want the "little people" having a say

obviously they do not want to grow the party

35. Go Bernie

Kasey Hunt is great The question I have is why Kasie & I noticed that Hillary has also mentioned the NY Daily News interview when it has been debunked Senator Sanders actually introduced "Too Big To Fail, Too Big To Exist" Bill. Robert Reich, NY Times, Rolling Stone, have fact checked. Suggest you watch this video: http://usuncut.com/politics/ny-daily-news-argument-destroyed-cnn/

Regional inflection -- more New York.

Kinda like people in PA say "crick" while everyone else says "creek", and I was taught to "red up" my room (instead of clean up).

I'll wait.

Just cause it doesn't fit your (or her) narrative doesn't mean it's not true. She asked, they answered. Unlike Trump's kids, they say their registered.

She was so ready to expose Bernie supporters on a LIVE broadcast without pre-canvasing the crowd to determine if any supporters were not registered prior to going LIVE........

She always projects these negative undertones whenever she's filing a Bernie rally report.......I always get the impression she would rather be covering the Hillary campaign and really hates covering the Bernie campaign.....JMO.

But nope, instead she tries to tear him down.

Compare her to Katie Tur who is their embed reporter for the Trump campaign. She's loving it.

Has Katie ever said anything positive about Bernie?

FOX News for the flag-waving gun-toting "take back America" crowd.

MSNBC for the Volvo-driving latte-drinking "equal rights but don't mess with my 401K" crowd.

The U.S. right-wing mass media is nothing but propaganda. This incident illustrates how they want to create the truth, rather than report it.
