Honest Bernie, caught in a fib, is forced to jump a NY turnstile.

[pnwmom]

No, this is not an important issue. His ignorance on many other topics covered in this interview is much more important. But this was amusing -- and you know they'd never let Hillary get away with pretending to use the NY subways

Daily News: I know you've got to go in a second. When was the last time you rode the subway? Are you gonna a campaign in the subway?

Sanders: Actually we rode the subway, Mike, when we were here? About a year ago? But I know how to ride the subways. I’ve been on them once or twice.

Daily News: Do you really? Do you really? How do you ride the subway today?

Sanders: What do you mean, "How do you ride the subway?"

Daily News: How do you get on the subway today?

Sanders: You get a token and you get in.

Daily News: Wrong.

Sanders: You jump over the turnstile.

Daily News: We would like our photographer to be there when you jump over the turnstile.
Sanders: I'm like anybody when I…


The TRUTH is here:

Subway fare is $2.75*, payable with MetroCard. People 65 years or older and people with qualifying disabilities who show a proper form of identification (including Reduced-Fare MetroCard or a Medicare card) are eligible for reduced fare. * The cost of a SingleRide ticket is $3.00. Sold at vending machines only.

1. He takes the DC metro all the time.

Is this really an issue?

[Jackie Wilson Said]

4. No, it is silly. But Clinton fans have been subjected to endless attacks of Hillary

in every conceivable manner.

So some Hillary supporters are taking cheap shots at Bernie, inevitable.

[pnwmom]

5. Can you imagine the reaction if Hillary had pretended to take the NY subways?

But I realize -- he's always been given latitude in ways that she hasn't.

[Cha]

2. Just one?

[Autumn]

7. You think Hill can jump one?

[Ash_F]

3. Card/token. Who cares? D.C. uses a card too.

[noretreatnosurrender]

6. LOL

This is your big expose? Oh my. I love DU. I laugh daily at some of the posts that I read here. You guys are too funny.

[Carolator]

8. Clearly someone else paid his fare last year

and he didn't know about the change.

[reformist2]

9. Please do knock yourselves out, with this tempest in a teapot.

The more you obsess over these silly mistakes, the more the public will get sick of the attacks.

[Politicalboi]

10. OMG!!!!!!

Well, this IS it. Bernie doesn't know how to ride the metro. How can he run the country when he can't even leave the station?

[MadBadger]

11. I do think his turnstile answer is hilarious though

[pnwmom]

12. It was a good save. n/t

[Hassin Bin Sober]

13. You need one for this ridiculous thread.

[geek tragedy]

15. it's something the press will have some fun with, but it doesn't mean

anything.

[Mike__M]

18. Capehart's searching the Post morgue

for clippings that show Young Bernie trying to ride for free.

[tralala]

14. From 1999

[cherokeeprogressive]

16. ZOMG

Yawn.

[Cha]

17. KICK!

[Depaysement]

19. Desperation

Pnwmom. Wow.

You can't appreciate playful banter, eh?

Every kid who grew up in Brooklyn has jumped the turnstile. Every kid. Including me. Kids in poor, black Brooklyn neighborhoods do it all the time.

You know what this does. It reminds everyone Bernie is a New Yorker.

[panader0]

20. Yeah! Go for it Hillarites! Token Gate!

This fake issue makes you all look ridiculous.
The guy was born in NY. You think he has never ridden the subway?

[R B Garr]

21. You are so right. If this was Hillary's comment, you

wouldn't hear the end of it. Even Clinton's nuanced answers are called lies.

Bernie was caught trying to have NY street cred, but he failed.
