Warren says Sanders 'has a lot of questions to answer' about his supporters' online attacks
"That is not how we build an inclusive Democratic Party. ... We do not build on a foundation of hate," Warren says after threats were made to a union that criticized Sanders' health care plan.
Bernie Sanders "has a lot of questions to answer" about how his supporters attacked members of a union online after they criticized his "Medicare for All" health care plan, Elizabeth Warren said Monday.
"I've said before that we are all responsible for what our supporters do, and I think Bernie has a lot of questions to answer here," Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, said in an interview in which she offered rare criticism of her fellow progressive Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont.
"I am particularly worried about what happened in the attacks on members of the culinary union, particularly on the women in leadership," Warren said. "That is not how we build an inclusive Democratic Party. ... We do not build on a foundation of hate."
Members of Culinary Workers Union Local 226, which represents 60,000 workers in Nevada's gaming and hospitality industries, said this week that Sanders' supporters had "viciously attacked" its members after leadership warned about the risk to their negotiated health plans under a "Medicare for All" system.
Sanders has said the attacks on union leadership were "not acceptable."
"I don't know who these so-called supporters are," he told PBS in an interview Thursday. "We're living in a strange world on the internet. And sometimes people attack people in somebody else's name. But let me be very clear. Anybody making personal attacks against anybody else in my name is not part of my movement."While Warren isn't the only presidential candidate to criticize how Sanders has handled the so-called Bernie Bros online culture — former Vice President Joe Biden also urged Sanders to take accountability for "misogynistic" attacks — her comments mark a new willingness to draw stark contrasts with Sanders at a crucial point in the Democratic presidential race. Warren finished third in the Iowa caucuses and fourth in the New Hampshire primary, and she is looking to reinvigorate her campaign in the Nevada, South Carolina and Super Tuesday contests.
