Democrats can say what they want about President Trump being “mean,” but at least unlike them, he stabs you in the front.
That underappreciated fact is ever clear in the growing rivalry between Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, both of whom are running for the party’s nomination.
CNN, on Monday, reported that at a private meeting in late 2018, Sanders told Warren in her condo that he “did not believe a woman could win” the presidency in the next election.
Only Sanders and Warren were at that meeting, according to CNN, which sourced its reporting to “the accounts of four people: two people Warren spoke with directly soon after the encounter, and two people familiar with the meeting.”
Hmm, then I wonder who involved here might be pushing out a story that makes Sanders look bad just three weeks ahead of the first contest of the primary?
Who in all of this might possibly stand to gain from portraying Sanders as a chauvinist?
It’s Warren. The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Warren trailing Sanders by 4 points in both Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states where we’ll get an idea of where the nomination is heading.
Sanders denied that he said what the story suggests he said but then admitted he that Trump “would weaponize whatever he could,” including the fact that Warren is a woman.
The only logical explanation is that either Warren or somebody close to her, pushed the story to CNN.
It’s funny when you consider how the two have made such a show about being “friends.”
After Politico reported this past weekend that the Sanders team was telling people that Warren won’t turn out enough voters to win in the general election, Sanders said he had nothing to do with the script used by his volunteers and called Warren a “very good friend.”
At a primary debate in August last year, Warren said she and Sanders “have been friends forever.”
Maybe they are “friends.” But the backstabbing shows they’re not above being mean.
