DES MOINES, Iowa — A campaign staffer for Bernie Sanders was screamed at by a local photojournalist who was repeatedly shoved following the Vermont senator's remarks at the Iowa State Fair.
The confrontation erupted after members of the campaign relentlessly pushed the local journalists to make room for Sanders as he made his way to various attractions at the fair on Sunday.
The press pool erupted in chaos as Sanders left the campaign event, which was hosted by the Des Moines Register.
"Do not put your hands on me. You keep pushing me," the female photographer yelled at the staffer.
Another journalist asked if a different female reporter was okay after she was pushed by Sanders' campaign workers many times.
Security for the event, as well as members of Sanders' campaign, repeatedly grabbed and shoved members of the press. One staffer for the Des Moines Register pushed a gate into a reporter for the Washington Examiner after telling him that "not all press" would be allowed to follow Sanders around.
In the press office, numerous journalists complained about what they saw as appalling treatment of the press.
Following the scuffle, Sanders went on to buy and consume a corn dog from a local vendor.

The corn dog wasn’t free?
“Consume a corn dog”
Oh my.
He ate Joe Biden.
Now it’s cannibalism.
Love it
Yet all our president does is call then Fake News and they clutch their pearls.
And yet they will lick his ass and talk about how mean Trump is.
Now the press have an idea of what’s in store if he becomes President and implements socialism. It will start with shoving and end with trips to the gulag.
Is this article actually trying to illicit sympathy for the press?
If it is, it ain’t working with me.
Just rope off the press like Cankles did.
Herd them like cattle.
Anything he or his campaign does is okay since Bernie “comes from the working class” don’t you know!
After all, he went to the U. of Chicago, graduating with no debt, just like the rest of the “working class” did. Go ahead Bernie, let your staff manhandle those female reporters!
Too bad the creepy Communist from the Des Moines Register didn’t get beaten to death.
Good old Bernie.
Down on the midway.
Asking the lady to guess his age.
At the cotton candy stand.
As a former reporter who got yanked by the arm and shoved around a few times ... who do Bernie’s goons think they are? If that is his team’s attitude toward the press — shove them around, get them out of the way — that’ll be his attitude toward We the People.
All pretense of being the same as the little people they intend to rule over has now been dropped. I am just surprised they didn’t shoot Epstein in broad daylight.
Manhandled?!?!
Don’t they mean non-specific-genderhandled?
Imagine what CNN and MSNBC would be doing right now if you replace “Bernie Sanders” with “Donald Trump” in this article.
We’ll be lucky if we get sent to a gulag.
In the press office, numerous journalists complained about what they saw as appalling treatment of the press.
appalling treatment of the press, Oh My!
