Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) held an open press conference Monday before California’s critical primary but before Sanders could finish his statements and open the floor to the press New York Times reporter Yamiche Alcindor questioned Sanders if it was sexist for him to stay in the race.
Sanders tried to quiet Alcindor five times by saying “excuse me” before giving in and allowing her to finish her question. Sanders had been trying to call on CNN’s Jeff Zeleny.
“What do you say to women who say that you staying in the race is sexist and getting in the way of the first female question?” Alcindor asked.
Sanders laughed and asked if it was a serious question, and Alcindor replied that it was.
