Listen Closely: Dem Moderator Lets Something Slip DURING Debate That’s Highly Suspicious

(Before It's News)

When the subject of the Vietnam War was raised during Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate, one of the two PBS moderators had a reaction that could not quite be stifled.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., and Hillary Clinton were batting about each other’s shortcomings in foreign policy when Sanders criticized Clinton for taking advice from former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Clinton responded that she took advice from many sources.

“It’s just a very different historical perspective here,” Sanders said. “Kissinger was one of those people during the Vietnam era …”

But as he paused to drive home the rest of his point, one of the moderators exhaled a deep, sighing comment that was captured by her microphone.

“Oh, God,” came the woman’s voice.

It was not clear which woman uttered the comment. The debate was moderated by Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff. Woodruff has donated to the Clinton Foundation.

Sanders continued to make his point, which New York Magazine dubbed, “The Most Confusing Moment for Younger Voters,” and the debate moved on. It was not clear if either candidate heard the remark.

“It was the reflexive response of an antsy kid who just had to listen to grandpa talk about his Iraq war vote for the 52nd time, and if you weren’t paying close attention, you almost certainly would have missed it,” wrote Ashley Feinberg on Gawker, who referred to the comment as a “rare bit of raw, uncensored moderator emotion.”

“Much of the debate was rather dull, as the two Democrats agreed on a long list of goals, quarrelling only over how best to achieve them,” wrote Lexington for The Economist. “A section on foreign policy showed off Mr. Sanders’s quirky side and also his age, as he meandered into a long grumble about Mrs. Clinton taking advice from Henry Kissinger, the Republican former Secretary of State to President Richard Nixon.”
