Elizabeth Warren: Bernie Sanders said a woman couldn't win in 2020
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in a statement Monday that her Democratic presidential rival Sen. Bernie Sanders told her during a December 2018 meeting that a woman could not win in 2020.Elizabeth Warren says Bernie Sanders told her a woman couldn’t win the presidency
Elizabeth Warren said Monday that a few weeks before the 2020 campaign started, Bernie Sanders told her that he did not believe a woman could win the presidency.
Sanders had issued an adamant denial earlier in the day after an anonymously sourced CNN report on the chat between the two senators at Warren’s Washington apartment in December 2018.
“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,” the Vermont senator said in a written statement released by his campaign. “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.”
Sanders recalled telling the Massachusetts senator that President Trump was “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.”
But Warren said in a statement Monday evening that Sanders had, in fact, told her in their private meeting that he didn’t believe a woman could win the presidency.
“Among the topics that came up was what would happen if Democrats nominated a female candidate. I thought a woman could win; he disagreed,” Warren said. “I have no interest in discussing this private meeting any further because Bernie and I have far more in common than our differences on punditry.”CNN’s report on the conversation said it was based on the accounts of two people who spoke with Warren soon after it took place and two others who were “familiar with the meeting.”
The contradictory accounts of the conversation come as the nonaggression pact between the campaign’s leading left-wing candidates — who have often described each other as friends — is falling apart. The issue could lead to tense moments at the Democratic debate Tuesday in Des Moines.
On Saturday night, Politico reported that Sanders volunteers were instructed to tell voters leaning toward Warren that “people who support her are highly educated, more affluent people who are going to show up and vote Democratic no matter what” and that “she’s bringing no new bases into the Democratic Party.”
Warren struck back on Sunday.
“I was disappointed to hear that Bernie is sending his volunteers out to trash me,” she told reporters in Iowa.
She recalled the hostility of many Sanders voters toward Clinton after he lost the 2016 race for the Democratic presidential nomination to the former secretary of State.
“We all saw the impact of the factionalism in 2016, and we can’t have a repeat of that,” Warren said. “Democrats need to unite our party.”
