A former MSNBC producer claimed that 2020 candidate Andrew Yang was barred from appearing on "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" during the Democratic primary.

Ariana Pekary, who left her role in August as an "integral member" of O'Donnell's primetime show, appeared on Yang's podcast "Yang Speaks," but on Twitter shed some light on what went on behind the scenes at MSNBC in response to an article about the slanted media coverage of the outsider candidate.

"Actually, I just reviewed my journal. On 4/25/19, I was told that we were never to pursue Andrew for an interview on our show (along with several others)," Pekary tweeted on Sunday. "The list of candidates was dictated, but the reasons for allowing them or not were not explained."

In a follow-up conversating with Yang, Pekary named other candidates that were on the "list" including Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Gov. Jay Inslee, D-Washington, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who Pekary was specifically remembered having a "question mark" next to her name.
