Former Democratic presidential nominee Andrew Yang was blacklisted from one of MSNBC’s top shows, a former producer said recently.

Ariana Pekary said over the weekend that she looked through her notes and found she was told on April 25, 2019, not to pursue Yang, along with several others, for an interview on “The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell.”
