So Warren was so bothered by Bernie's comments in 2018 that all the reporting at the time suggests they amicably agreed that they were both running, then 13 months later she remembers this was an important thing and she is still upset about it?
And if the implication is not that it is sexist, then what is the point in even bringing it up?
I read somewhere that it came out in response to the Sanders campaign giving their supporters a anti-Warren script to use. It seems the two campaigns have mostly refrained from attacking each other.

The quote in the article is the one I’ve seen pointed as the negative campaigning...
But volunteers were also equipped with talking points for voters who said they were leaning toward other candidates. In Warren's case, they stated that the “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.”
that’s about as tame as you can get, and common knowledge. It is a crappy excuse to stick a sexist labeled knife in a surging Sanders’ back while you’re slippingin the polls three weeks ahead of Iowa. And as KK said two years after the damn one on one meeting took place.
Add in the disgusting way the issue was raised and Sanders’s denial basically ignored by the CNN moderator and you have what looks a lot like a concerted effort at a made for tv/ made for headlines gotcha moment meant to tear down Sanders.
The whole display was so gross that when during the post debate another CNN panelist was touting the claim as fact Anderson Cooper had to remind them that it indeed was he said/ she said.
Why would Warren do this? Will it help her win? Probably not. Will it make it easier for her to distance herself from Sanders and back the establishment candidate Biden when/if she drops out? Probably.
It’s a good example of why a lot of people, myself included, question Warren’s honesty and integrity.
The questioning of Warren's honesty is amazingly ironic when it comes to this post. Painting a progressive and his/her followers as elites is incredibly damning. I would be very shocked if you didn't realize that, something tells me that you do.
You also know full rough ridin' well why she waited for two years to release the details of that conversation. She essentially said why she did it.
At some point ardent Bernie Sanders supporters need to stop with the cult of personality bullshit and hold their candidate responsible for something, anything. Literally every other candidates supporters have something that they have to deal with regarding their candidate, and are forced to essentially eat it. You don't see Warren supporters threatening to boycott networks when the native american stuff comes out, even though, and this point has been made several times, that has happened to so many Americans, including me. Pete supporters don't crap themselves claiming media bias when he has to answer about the South Bend Police Chief or McKinsey on a damn near daily basis. All candidates go through stuff like this only Bernie supporters and MAGA behave as if the world is against them and their guy is perfect.
