"...and will not be tainted by the world!"Enjoy four more years of Trump https://t.co/oMeoeLYGKS— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 14, 2020
Yeah, how's that purity of essence idea workin' out for ya?
Amid fresh warnings that progressives in the U.S. should be on guard against efforts by the corporate media to sow division between the Warren and Sanders campaigns, CNN came under fire Monday afternoon after publishing an unsubstantiated hit piece that cited anonymous sources—not even in the room at the time—claiming Bernie Sanders privately told Elizabeth Warren in 2018 that a woman could not win the presidency.Now there's a villain we can rally against! Corporate news! That'll unify the Bernie Bros. and the Trumpistas!
Sanders told CNN in “an aggressive, on the record pushback” that the claims where absolutely false. Kristen Orthman, the Warren campaign’s communication director, on the other hand, declined to comment for the story by CNN political correspondent MJ Lee.
“It is ludicrous to believe that at the same meeting where Elizabeth Warren told me she was going to run for president, I would tell her that a woman couldn’t win,” Sanders told CNN. “It’s sad that, three weeks before the Iowa caucus and a year after that private conversation, staff who weren’t in the room are lying about what happened. What I did say that night was that Donald Trump is a sexist, a racist and a liar who would weaponize whatever he could. Do I believe a woman can win in 2020? Of course! After all, Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by 3 million votes in 2016.”
Oh, wait a minute. Turns out that hot take didn't age well:
So much for the declarations that reporters were carrying water on flimsy material. Warren says it on the record > https://t.co/WwGcppNEoG— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) January 14, 2020
