name into nomination as she had been told she and Tulsi would do it together. She didn't say directly but inferred that the DNC had not allowed her to do so. BUT she said that the "senator" meaning Bernie had called her and told her very nicely that she would not be allowed to join Tulsi in putting his name forward for the nomination.
I thought it all sounded so strange. The DNC had given Bernie just about everything he wanted for this convention. Why would they deny him this one last gesture? Was it actually the DNC that kept Nina from doing that or Bernie himself? No answer forthcoming but Nina looked crushed in that interview. Had it been the DNC that did that, I think she would have been very vocal about it.
