Bernie Sanders rushes to the side of man who faints at his rally

[UglyGreed]

A man fainted Wednesday afternoon on stage while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was giving a speech in New Hampshire ahead of the state's primary election.

The presidential candidate gasped, “Oh, my god,” after the loud noise forced him to flinch. But what really caught the eye of his livestream viewers was Sanders' quick response.

1. Thanks, Ugly.

It's nice to read some positive news on this board every once in a while.

[UglyGreed]

5. You're welcome

[metroins]

2. That's a good thing

A lot of people would just stand by and watch, he jumped into action.

[UglyGreed]

7. Indeed

Bernie seems to really care, I don't think it is an act.

[metroins]

8. I agree

I do not think it is an act.

I personally like Hillary as CIC, but I think Bernie is a better person.

3. Bernie saved Andrea Mitchell too.

He's a mensch!

4. barbara walters interviewed him

as one of the most fascinating people. she said "he's such a nice man".

[beam me up scottie]

6. He really is.

He's an old school gentleman and a feminist too!

[DesertFlower]

10. i've been following him for years.

never thought he'd run for POTUS, but delighted he did. even if he's not the nominee he will have changed the country.

11. Nice!

Normally I think those kinds of images are silly but after seeing the video it was spot on that night.

[UglyGreed]

14. Sometimes silly

is good for the soul

[Lucinda]

12. Well done Bernie! I didn't read the link yet, because

i've got to get a few things done before the debate. Hope the man is ok!

[speaktruthtopower]

13. That guy stood up awfully fast...

[Paulie]

15. Happened to me

Locked my knees standing and after a while blood flow slows and down you go. Shock of falling juiced me back up.

[kimbutgar]

17. Same here, knee lock pass out.

But what a loving humanitarian to care about a supporter in actions and not Just words. Can you imagine trumpster doing this?

[Paulie]

18. He'd have the crowd beat the person up

Because when he looked over his hair flew up like a peacock on tvee

[dinkytron]

16. Yeah, good job looking pale and dazed.

[Feeling the Bern]

19. Please. . .we all know Bernie set this up to make him look good.

He is as fake as they come. I've read DUers saying they see through his "act." This is just part of it. That compassion act is wearing thin.

[mike dub]

20. Great and quick response by Senator Sanders

Great to see him spring into action and head right to the fainted person's side. He's a genuinely kind man.

[progree]

21. "The presidential candidate gasped, 'Oh, my god' " -- he's pandering to the Evangelicals

and the monotheistic vote.

22. remember that happening with someone at an Obama rally but not a quick response like Bernie O_O

wow

[Pharaoh]

23. I love this Man!

never have I loved a candidate like I love Bernie!

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

24. Very telling about his true character.

[zentrum]

25. So Bernie!

[saturnsring]

26. heh

[JDPriestly]

27. Bernie grew up with at least one brother. Havine siblings makes you a lot more sensitive to

the needs of others. Of course, some only children are just naturally very attentive to the needs of others.

Also, I have to add that I do not envy Sanders' Secret Service detail. Sanders is an active man, strong and quick for his age, but I cannot imagine it is easy trying to predict where Sanders is going to be and what he will be doing from one moment to the next.

Sanders is profoundly independent. Profoundly. It's his personality. I love him for it.

[SoapBox]

28. I wouldn't expect any different from him...

He has a heart and soul.
