Bernie Sanders will appear at town hall hosted by Fox News

By Aaron Feis April 3, 2019 | 1:00pm


Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders will appear in a town hall later this month on Fox News — the same network that’s being boycotted by the Democratic National Committee’s debate team.

Sanders (I – VT) will talk economics and jobs in the hour-long discussion on April 15 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a former steel city in the perennial battleground state.

The self-described Democratic socialist failed to win the DNC’s backing in the 2016 presidential race, but is off to a fast start in the run-up to 2020, pacing a crowded field of candidates by collecting $18.2 million in contributions in 41 days.

Last month, the DNC announced that none of a dozen Democratic presidential debates had been awarded to Fox, claiming it was too close to the GOP to host a “fair and neutral debate.”

The town hall will air live from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., and be co-anchored by Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.

Bernie ain't afraid to face Fox and spit right in their eye if needed and maybe open the eyes of some.

Too bad the rest of the field are scaredy-cats.

Unlike some of our more "centrist" (corporate) candidates,Bernie never flip-flops or tells people what they want to hear.
