People in this thread who wanted her to basically call the story false need to chill out. Acting pretend shocked an old man said a women can't win after Trump defeated the "impervious" Clinton isn't' a shock, at all. It's classic sexism, it's shit we've all heard (even in this fucking thread) for the last three years. Sanders has said stupid shit plenty of times, on record. Suddenly pretending he's immune to saying shit like this in private to a friend is just building an image in your head of a person who doesn't exist.
You have the response and context. The context was a simple question, "if we elect a women can she win?" Warren said yes, Sanders said no.
You're either going to have to call Warren a liar or call Sanders a liar. There isn't an in between on this. There is no "context" that makes that statement "ok".
Now, what's rich are the people coming out of their way to call it "slime ball". Like if Biden said this and Warren leaked it people would be up in arms? Cmon now.
And if you want context, the fact she talked to staffers about this dinner probably means the actual "context" people want isn't really that good either. Like, why would she tell staffers this specific thing happened if they were just talking about "oh you know the midwest are a bunch of sexist pigs I just don't know...". That makes little to no sense to me, so the actual "context" is in the simple fact this story was told to people.
