NBC denies Yang's accusation that his mic was turned off in debate

NBC News is denying 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang's claim that his microphone was muted or turned off at points during Thursday night's Democratic debate in Miami.

The pushback comes after Yang claimed his microphone was "not on" a few times when he attempted to jump in.

"There were also a few times, FYI, where I just started talking, being like, 'Hey, I want to add something there,' and my mic was not on," the tech entrepreneur said while speaking to supporters after the event.

"And it's this sort of thing where, it's not like if you started talking, it takes over the [conversation]. It's like I was talking, but nothing was happening. And it was like, 'Oh f---.' So that happened a bit too."

2. Good one

3. He got 3 minutes of air time. Todd and even Rachel directed most of their...

questions and RESPONES to those in the center of the talbe. I kept watching and counldn't believe those on the ends were hardly called upon while those in the center kept getting time for follow up responses after first having been called on.

Yang may have a point. I wanted to hear about his $1000 monthly benefit which would undoubtedly spur the economy because that money would be spent right away and circulated.

4. Nothing would shock me

the networks have their favorites, some candidates we're almost totally ignored during both nights.

5. His candidacy was boosted, in part, by some on the right with nefarious reasons for doing so.

Those same type of supporters just so happen to eat up any and all """rigged""" conspiracy theories.

6. conspiracy theories again

7. This should be easy to prove if true

Find places where he appears to be speaking but the audio is not picked up.

I like Yang but he needs to back up a claim like this
