CNN has
been accused of ambushing Bernie Sanders and tricking viewers by
passing off Democratic political operatives as everyday people during
a Monday evening town hall as part of his campaign for the 2020
election.
Internet
sleuths looked into the backgrounds of those asking Sanders various
questions - most of which could be considered fair game to ask a
presidential candidate, only to find that there was more than meets
the eye as noted by Paste Magazine.
For
example, Sanders was asked a tough question about allegations of
sexual harassment on his 2016 campaign by "American University
Student" Shadi Nasab. What CNN didn't mention is that she's also
an intern for a large D.C. lobbying firm, Cassidy &
Associates.
Another
question came from Tara Ebersole, a humble "Former Biology
Professor" according to CNN. She's also the chair of the
Baltimore County Democratic Party according to her LinkedIn
page. What's more, Ebersole's husband is a Maryland state delegate,
and was on Hillary Clinton's leadership council in 2016.
Abena
McAllister was labeled by CNN as a "Mother of Two," but
failed to mention that she's also the Charles County Democratic
Central Committee Chair.
"Maryland
Voter" Michelle Gregory is yet another 'everyday person' who
turns out to be politically active as the chair of the Lower Shore
Progressive Caucus.
