NY Times: For Bernie Sanders, Claims of Sexism in 2016 Campaign Hang Over 2020 Bid

[Kirblar]

This is a NYT followup on a Politico article that dropped a few days ago regarding a letter to Sanders from campaign staffers from the bottom of the campaign to the top - https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/30/bernie-sanders-campaign-harassment-1077014

More than two dozen women and men who worked on Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign are seeking a meeting with the senator and his top political advisers to "discuss the issue of sexual violence and harassment on the 2016 campaign, for the purpose of planning to mitigate the issue in the upcoming presidential cycle," according to a copy of letter obtained by POLITICO.

"In recent weeks there has been an ongoing conversation on social media, in texts, and in person, about the untenable and dangerous dynamic that developed during our campaign," they wrote.

Organizers of the effort said they did not intend for the letter to become public, but they confirmed that they sent it to senior Sanders officials on Sunday afternoon.

The full text of the letter is relatively short and worth reading for context. Unfortunately Politico's PDF->Text translator is....not good and I can't copy/paste into the thread.
