Near the end of Sunday night’s Democratic presidential debate on NBC, co-moderator, Clinton correspondent, and MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell served up the lone question on Bill Clinton’s sex scandals in a misleading and vague fashion that allowed Senator Bernie Sanders to dodge the substance of the matter and instead falsely bash the media for even bringing it up.

Mitchell turned to Sanders near the 10:43 p.m. Eastern mark and asked him if he would like to express remorse for having mentioned the former President’s past of repeated sexual misconduct: “Senator Sanders, let me ask you a question, you called Bill Clinton's past transgressions, quote, “totally, totally, totally disgraceful, and unacceptable.” Senator, do you regret saying that?”
