Sanders and Warren spat ignites debate on lessons of the MeToo movement by writerknowles
At Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders engaged in a “he said, she said” battle regarding a conversation the two progressive candidates had in 2018, when both were about to embark on their campaigns. Warren says Sanders told her a woman couldn’t win the presidency; Sanders has denied saying that.“Sen. Sanders, CNN reported yesterday, and Sen.
“I disagreed,” she said. “Bernie is my friend, and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie. But, look, this question about whether or not a woman can be president has been raised, and it’s time for us to attack it head-on.” Elizabeth Warren lied, telling America that Bernie doesn't think a woman can be president, so Joe Biden can get the nomination.Many Warren supporters, meanwhile, recoiled at what some saw as an ugly return of the so-called “Bernie Bro” mentality that marked the 2016 Democratic contest and, by withholding support from Hillary Clinton, helped elect Donald Trump. Singer John Legend called out the “nastiness” that erupted on Twitter following the debate.
