In reply to the discussion: Bernie was more welcoming to a bird on his podium than his wife by his side [View all]TeeYiYi
(8,028 posts)...because I was afraid of what might be in it, based on your OP.
But, I watched it, and I'm so relieved to find that the implied message behind your OP was disingenuous in its accusation, and at the same time, I'm so disappointed in you, Cali_Democrat, for posting this invented narrative as fact.
For anyone who hasn't watched the video, Bernie is standing at the podium, making large gestures with his arms, as he always does. His wife steps up to tell him something and he quickly tells her, "Don't stand there," so as not to get hit by his arms; so she recognizes his concern and says, "Ok, what? Oh, ok..." and hurriedly steps back again...as he continues with the arm gestures.
It's two best friends, lovers, companions, communicating with each other.
I'm glad that I watched the video but at the same time, I'm shaking my head at certain members of DU that would push such obvious bullshit out of, I don't know...desperation?
TYY
ETA: Your OP suggests that Bernie pushes his wife. I just watched the video again and he never touched her.
