    Not any more than I need someone to prove that liberals are hypocrites like the rest of us are. It is really sad seeing people try and pretend to be superior to everyone else.

    Haha, Bernie claims he can't multi-task, or even address massive sexual harassment in his own campaign, and he wants to be President of the busiest, most complex government in the world?

    Stick a fork in this deep state sellout clown, 'cause he's done.

    Bernie Sanders on why he was unaware of sexual harassment claims rocking campaign: 'I was a little bit busy'


    By Gregg Re | Fox News

    In an interview Wednesday night, Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed he was too "busy" to know about the bombshell sexual misconduct allegations that internally rocked his 2016 presidential campaign, even as he apologized to any women who had not been "treated appropriately."

    Sanders, widely considered a possible candidate for president again in 2020, was responding to a question from CNN anchor Anderson Cooper hours after a report Wednesday in The New York Times outlined what one former Sanders delegate called an "entire wave of rotten sexual harassment that seemingly was never dealt with."

    The paper also included numerous complaints that women on the campaign were paid less than men and were frequently forced into inappropriate and uncomfortable situations.

    Asked by Cooper whether he was unaware of the accusations, Sanders sarcastically replied: "Uh, yes. I was a little bit busy running around the country, trying to make the case." He then appeared to smile.

    In one instance, according to The Times, Sanders' then-director of Latino outreach, Bill Velazquez, allegedly joked about a sexual harassment allegation made by a subordinate while the two worked on the Sanders campaign.

    The subordinate, Latino outreach strategist Giulianna Di Lauro, claimed she told Velazquez in February 2016 that a campaign surrogate, game show host Marco Antonio Regil, repeatedly touched her in an inappropriate "sexual" manner. In response, according to Di Lauro, Velazquez remarked before laughing, "I bet you would have liked it if he were younger."

    In other episodes, according to individuals who spoke with the paper and provided contemporaneous emails, male staffers berated female colleagues and made lewd comments. So-called "Bernie Bros," or fans of the campaign, often made parallel sexist attacks against then-candidate Hillary Clinton and female reporters.

    Several of the women who spoke to The Times said that they had shared their concerns with high-ranking members of the campaign. Di Lauro said she alerted Rich Pelletier, who served as Sanders' Deputy Campaign Manager and national field director, but that no substantive action was taken.

    Additionally, a letter written this weekend by more than two dozen former Sanders staffers alleged that a "predatory culture" pervaded the entire operation.

    The scathing document, published Sunday by Politico, highlighted what it called an “untenable and dangerous dynamic” on the campaign and requested an in-person meeting with Sanders “to discuss the issue of sexual violence and harassment," without discussing specific instances.

    In response, Sanders' campaign committee, which received the letter Sunday afternoon, said in a statement: “We thank the signers of the letter for their willingness to engage in this incredibly important discussion. We always welcome hearing the experiences and views of our former staff. We also value their right to come to us in a private way so their confidences and privacy are respected. And we will honor this principle with respect to this private letter."

    Sanders, who soundly defeated Clinton in the 2016 New Hampshire primary, has said he is considering running for president in 2020.

    Personal insult which is unwarranted.

    I've never had a problem believing women in general. It's been my experience honesty does not favor one sex or the other.

    Why wouldn't I believe them?

    I realize you are trying to restore some false credibility to the absurd lies and fairy tales that were created to oppose Kavanaugh, but a 400 page Congressional report on their testimony and the testimony of other witnesses rebutting and disproving the liars was overwhelming and resulted in several referrals for criminal prosecution.

    But they certainly didn't lie because they are women. In fact, several brave women stepped forward to denounce the lies.

    They lied because as individuals they have no character or moral compass, possibly sociopathic.

    I completely agree.

    You're talking about Trump and the two women he lied about sleeping with right?

    I know you guys don't like Trump and that's fine, I don't either. I had a brother with Down syndrome and work with people who actually have an IQ in the range of mentally retarded quite frequently and throwing out that Trump is retarded kind of doesn't sit well with me. He's certainly not smart, but you basically just called him a retard in the literal sense and a.) he's not, b.) I think throwing that out there so nonchalantly seems disrespectful to people who actually have real mental disabilities. Just my two cents...

    Only a naïve person won't make the connection of timing with Warren's announcement to run and these women coming forward to call out Bernie (her main competitor) in a very public way.

    You'd think they'd know better, but then they're not geniuses themselves either.

    Then Trump is even a bigger idiot.

    How about we both claim we've slept with Trump, we'll get $100k each from him and then you and I will go to Costa Rica.

    Remember it's all in the details. Trump has a tiny mushroom shaped penis. Make sure you repeat that 3 or 4 times when CNN interviews you.

    No, I'm talking about the 20 black mailers. Do you see a pattern? Sigh, probably not the right pattern.

    Most of them, actually.

    Depends on if they're an obvious liar with ulterior motives, or just someone relating a truth.
