Pretty much my thoughts as well.I believe Warren. I don't think it would disqualify Bernie as a candidate in my eyes given his history. Hopefully it's not that bad in context, but I'll take Warren's word regardless.

She didn't say it was her interpretation.I honestly think Warren is done now.
That statement is beyond pathetic. "I thought a woman could win, he disagreed"...were you talking about yourself and he thought he would be a better candidate? Did he say that he's afraid sexism in key battleground states might be enough to swing them to Trump and we would be better off nominating a man? Why have you been his ally/friend since then if you think he's a raging sexist? Why is he still your ally/friend if you're continuing to insinuate he's a raging sexist? Did your staffers go rogue and release this or was this a planned attack?
Give me what he actually said and not your "interpretation" of what he said Liz.
Overly sensitive isn't quite right. It's more cynical. Like pretending to be hurt by something.
maybe. it's not clear that's what she means by reading her statement
Agreed. This leaking is not good for Warren - the idea that Warren deliberately leaked it is one where you need to be a Sanders partisan to believe it true- this is not a helpful narrative to have in the campaign because the last thing you want to do is push this concern to the forefront of voters' minds.
The point I'm making is that the point of the story is not whether Bernie Sanders is sexist; but whether he was daft enough to tell Warren to her face that he thought the Electoral college wouldn't elect a woman.Why exactly is it a personal judgement on whether or not Bernie Sanders is a raging bigot whether he thought other people were and would respond to sexist political campaigning? I completely don't understand what point you think you're making by repeatedly saying this.
CNN launders sources, though (as do all media with access)
Aint it tho.
Or she doesn't know, and is just sticking to the pure facts as she experienced them.
The point is, using this comment as evidence Bernie is a sexist is just as baseless as using this comment as evidence Warren is a liar.
This is less than nothing.
It's more that she thinks Bernie believes American voters are sexist
Boy that's some really bad journalism and logic in terms of "it's not real because nobody was in the room... just people who directly talked to her".
Also it's out of date because Warren responded and said it happened lol
Yeah that shit is gross, don't trivialize sexual assault trauma by using it to try and make a point about a political spat.is it possible to talk about this without constantly making innuendos about rape?
Maybe she didn't think it was important or didn't want to do Bernie like that. It might be a foreign concept to some, but just because someone says something bad about your or something you don't agree with, it doesn't mean you HAVE to retaliate or knock 'em down in an opportune time. I know, for people on the Internet, sometimes it's a "DOES NOT COMPUTE" moment, especially when everything someone disagrees with HAS to be met with the most epic of vitriol one can muster through their keyboards. Not a knock at you, personally, just people out there that may or may not be listening.Why she didn't say this a year ago. This is borderline disqualifying for someone like Sanders.
I know, right? Warren don't want people to dwell on this shit and everybody's, well, like the analogy I used in a previous post, are going all The Mist up in here."Bernie and I disagreed that a woman could be elected president but I'm focused on working with my friend Bernie to defeat Trump..."

Continually trying to push this is embarrassing
Everyone: "I don't believe it but I'll wait for Warren to reply"
After Warren says it's what he said
"Ok I still don't believe it because it's not what Sanders said!"
She didn't. This wasn't leaked by her directly. But now that it is out she isn't going to lie about it.
Then she should absolutely clarify this! Her team worked on her statement for nearly six hours, and the one released definitely leaves the door open for Bernie's alleged sexism. That's why this seems so dishonest and dirty to me.
It's not her job to speak for Bernie. All she said was what she heard, no more no less.Then she should absolutely clarify this!
