DESPITE BEING GIVEN FEWER QUESTIONS AND LESS TIME, ANDREW YANG IS ONLY DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE TO OFFER A NEW WAY FORWARD
Make it so that we can look at our kids in the eyes and say it, and believe it: that your country loves you, your country believes in you, and you will be all right.
- Andrew Yang, during his closing statement
Tonight, America saw that the #YangMediaBlackOut is real. During MSNBC and The Washington Post’s debate, Yang was not asked a question until the 32-minute mark. MSNBC gave significantly more time to candidates polling lower than Yang. This follows repeated instances of MSNBC leaving out Yang from polling and fundraising graphics, and even calling him by the wrong name.
“Andrew is consistently a top six candidate and deserves to be treated as such. Honest journalism is not an unreasonable ask from one of our nation’s largest news outlets,” said Campaign Manager Zach Graumann.
Despite being given the least amount of speaking time tonight, Andrew Yang delivered the strongest message and proved why he should be the Democratic nominee.
Americans tuned in tonight hoping to hear how the candidates were going to address the problems they face in their daily lives. Instead, they were forced to watch moderators pit Democratic candidates against each other.
When Yang was finally called upon, he answered with a message of hope and vision for this country. Yang spoke about the need for smart foreign policy that keeps America safe, economically prosperous, and secure in its democracy.
