He was never given the chance, they cut him off as he was speaking to a televised town hall, Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #142

Did you actually watch it EffieBlack Apr 2019 #143

Bernie wasn't finished speaking and the only person to determine that is the speaker unless Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #146

African American women were asking him what he would do EffieBlack Apr 2019 #148
