Why Wasn't Elizabeth Warren Outspoken In Defending Tulsi Gabbard Like Bernie?

Because she is a smart woman who puts her country first. Apparently, Russia understands that as well:

“I also could not in good conscience vote for impeachment because removal of a sitting President must not be the culmination of a partisan process, fueled by tribal animosities that have so gravely divided our country,” Gabbard continued.

Just, wow.

Bernie defended Tulsi who a Russian/Trump apologist and that is hardly an isolated incident. For example, Briahna Joy Gray is his current and former campaign secretary:

https://heavy.com/news/2019/03/briahna-joy-gray-bernie-sanders-press-secretary/

Briahna Joy Gray is Bernie Sanders’ national press secretary for his 2020 campaign. She was one of 15 new hires announced in mid-March that included 10 women joining Sanders’ presidential campaign team. Sanders’ press secretary in 2016 was Symone Sanders (no relation to Bernie Sanders.) Gray is known for being outspoken about her beliefs, including her decision to vote for Jill Stein in 2016 after Sanders didn’t get the Democratic nomination.

Yet, she was also outspoken in siding with Trump's attacks that Russian interference was a hoax:

Seriously, these are people that Sanders picked and picked again.

It certainly demonstrates a lack of good judgement to give an endorsement to someone who is a notorious misogynist and who apparently believes that sexual animal abuse is okay (bestiality) as long as the horse comes and is sexually gratified too. What a perverted and disgusting person Cenk Uygur is!

Even the most perfunctory of vetting processes (ie: a simple Google search) would have revealed much about Cenk.
