Caucusing got heated on live television Monday as a young caucusgoer dropped an F-bomb on MSNBC while grilling Bernie Sanders supporters on the his plan to fix the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
“I get V.A. I am V.A. I am a vet. My mom’s a vet. How is he going to fix it? Because I can tell you right that the V.A. is more screwed up than it has been in a while,” she said. “The fact that I haven’t gotten benefits in three months because the V.A. is so fucked up really makes me concerned.”
During the Democratic Iowa caucus, rival candidates’ supporters stand in separate groups and can try to woo those who are undecided to caucus for their candidate.
MSNBC’s Brian Williams apologized for the expletive soon after the cameras cut away.
On the BBC, they call each other cunts and twats. Big woop.
Oh golly!
He’s no better than Hitler!
Concorde! Break out my fainting couch!
This is one thing voters should get behind in this election. It is not right to send our young men and women into war and other danger and, after they get hurt, have no plan to help them or, worse, have a poorly managed plan that creates the kinds of scenarios this young man cited.
I don’t blame him for being mad. He and others like him gave their all for us. What have we done for them in return?
Yes, but this is the modern world. Nobody has much of a problem with your advocating genocide. As long as you don’t swear while doing so.
