Yang appears on MSNBC, ending boycott

Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has ended his self-imposed boycott of MSNBC by appearing on the network for an interview with anchor Chris Hayes.

Yang's appearance on "All In with Chris Hayes" Friday night marked his first on the network after he said he would not appear on MSNBC until it apologized "on-air" for its coverage of his campaign.

"Chris, and other MSNBC journalists, have reached out to me and the team in the past days," Yang tweeted Friday. "I decided that I'd prefer to speak to as many Americans as possible — our message is too important."

Yang previously knocked the network for its lack of coverage of his upstart campaign, pointing out that he was omitted from several MSNBC graphics and was once called "John Yang."

I imagine that's why he's ending the boycott. He's trying to get in front of more faces.

but boycotting a cable station like MSNBC was not a smart move. Many Democratic voters get their political news on MSNBC.
