Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang did not mince words early Thursday morning while talking about MSNBC’s treatment of him during Wednesday night’s debate.
Yang visited a watch party after the MSNBC debate, where he called out the moderators for giving him less than seven minutes of speaking time.
“It felt like when the hell are they going to f—ing call on me?” Yang said, according to the Atlantic‘s Edward-Isaac Dovere. “The hypocrisy of MSNBC in a way just makes us stronger. I’m almost — almost grateful.”

Democratic frontrunners Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden were also given almost 13 minutes each, according to the New York Times. – READ MORE
