Bernie Sanders supporter yanked from stage at Hillary Clinton rally after trashing herBernie Sanders, who is out campaigning for his former rival, Hillary Clinton, was in Iowa over the weekend. And in a moment that illustrated just how hard it’s been for Clinton to woo millennial voters still feeling the proverbial Bern, an Iowa State University student introducing the Vermont senator had to be escorted from the stage for trashing the Democratic nominee.
Kaleb Vanfosson, a sophomore political science major and president of the school’s Students for Bernie club, began his speech talking about student debt.
“While the part-time reality star and full-time bigot Donald Trump thinks that hard-working immigrants are what’s wrong with our country, he fails to even talk about this issue,” Vanfosson said. “But unfortunately Hillary doesn’t care about this issue either.”
Big banks, the military-industrial complex and “her good friend Henry Kissinger” are “the only ones that can trust Hillary,” said, drawing applause.
“She is so trapped in the world of the elite that she has completely lost grip of what it’s like to be an average person,” Vanfosson continued as campaign staffers could be seen scrambling near the side of the stage. “She doesn’t care. voting for the lesser of two evils? There’s no point.”
Vanfosson was then forcibly removed from the stage. (He told the Iowa State Daily that he was “basically assaulted” while being escorted out of the hall.)
