Warren had a great interview with Rachel last night.... Threw Major Shade on Bernie

[getagrip_already]

At one point, Rachel asked her directly bout the attacks by sanders supporters, and she agreed that all the female candidates had been unfairly attacked by them. When asked if she brought it up with sanders, she said yes, but that the conversation was brief.

I was waiting for someone to bring it up, but I haven't seen anything yet. Apologies if this has been posted.

Her segments don't get posted until a day later, so I doubt it's up yet on msnbc.com.

1. Long thread on it from last night.

And, yes, many share the same thoughts.

2. I heard this podcast last night on Stitcher.

Parts of it made me cry.

3. This stood out:

Rachel asked Warren if she spoke with Bernie about her complaints concerning his supporters.

Rachel asked what that conversation was like and Warren answered: "It was short."

That is code for "He blew me off."

It also seems that their friendship has hit the skids. She was very angry with him and was caught on a hot mic accusing him of calling her a liar on television.

The National Organization of Women has now asked her not to endorse Sanders citing that "He has done very little for women."

I would be surprised if he ever gets her endorsement.

7. I did not knot about NOW, thanks. I agree with what you say. Then Sanders goes out and

pretend he is all outraged in defense of people saying shit to Warren. He knew and blew her off. Just like he has done for the last five years. Every once in a great while he will say something, but mostly, it is blowing if off. Or saying it is in all campaigns. Or the Russian bots.

4. Both of them tend to deflect with political alibis

VAWA, marching for civil rights, etc. When things like not showing up and voting against the interests of women's rights to control their bodies are pointed out. People love to defend, deny, and ignore when their candidates flaws become apparent. The biggest flaw both of these men have is their unwillingness to admit to being wrong and self correct. In so many ways they share so many qualities I dislike that I find it impossible to find anything that distinguishes them from each other in a way that would inspire me to commit or advocate for one over the other.

6. Nice attempt at whataboutism

But this is about Sanders and Warren.

8. It's systemic

and Joe and Bernie are not really that different to me.

5. I thought Warren showed admirable restraint

It was clear that she felt everyone running for office should make it crystal clear to their supporters that this type of bullying behavior is unacceptable. And continue to do so until that behavior stops.

Sanders doesn't seem to have done that. But Warren didn't call him out on it personally, because she sees the bigger picture at this critical moment.

She's tough as she is smart. What a fucking shame she won't be our next president.

9. This is just not an issue with any other candidate. It's been like this since 2016.

I'm sick of it. It's impossible at this point to separate Bernie from his supporters, my reaction to HIM has everything to do with my feelings about THEM.

My sincere apologies to those who support Bernie who are not like that, I know that I've seen quite a few on DU and it must be very frustrating for you.

It exists. It's real. His supporters are on tv, twitter, etc. acting like jerks. He has not done enough to quell this.

The fact that she said the conversation was "brief" is everything you need to know about how he feels about it.

10. I like how Rachel and Warren asserted that she single-handedly destroyed Bloomberg

and yet Bloomberg placed ahead of Warren in most of the Super Tuesday contests and won more delegates than her as well. And she had the luxury of running in her home state Tuesday where she placed third. Third!

Sort of a joke, IMO.
