Sexism Claims From Bernie Sanders’s 2016 Run: Paid Less, Treated Worse
NY Times ^ | Jan. 2, 2019 | Sydney Ember and Katie Benner

Posted on 01/03/2019 3:28:41 AM PST by McGruff

In February 2016, Giulianna Di Lauro, a Latino outreach strategist for Senator Bernie Sanders’s presidential operation, complained to her supervisor that she had been harassed by a campaign surrogate whom she drove to events ahead of the Democratic primary in Nevada.

She said the surrogate told her she had “beautiful curly hair” and asked if he could touch it, Ms. Di Lauro said in an interview. Thinking he would just touch a strand, she consented. But she said that he ran his hand through her hair in a “sexual way” and continued to grab, touch and “push my boundaries” for the rest of the day.

“I just wanted to be done with it so badly,” she said.

The NY Slimes doing the DNCs dirty work again. They stole the Democratic nomination from him for Hillary in 2016 and time to do it again. Go ahead, tick off all the Bernie supporters again. Maybe they will stay home again.

They need the “old whit man” to get out of the way for a more colorful, young socialist.

This is a targeted hit piece on Sanders. They want him out of the way.

The DNC has a problem. If Bernie runs, and he goes off into Iowa, he’s likely to win. Out of the first four states, I’d give odds to him to win three of the four primaries. That spells doom for the lesser candidates trying to establish some dynamic to the general democratic population.

Let’s hear more on how a woman, HRC, F’ed Bernie’s campaign. If that wasn’t sexual harassment and a estrogen charged power play, I don’t what is. Go Bernie 2020! Just kidding.

But how does Bernie Sanders with his main campaign theme being that he would fight the entrenched interests have any remaining supporters after he capitulated to the entrenched interests of the Democrat party by not only accepting that Her Heinous rigged the system to rob him of the nomination while he cheerfully endorsed her at the convention in prime time, but he also took his 30 pieces of silver in the form of a $600K house right in front of their faces? Aren’t his supporters supposed to be pure of heart against the system and its collaborators?

I think Bernie is this ‘Lorne Greene’ type character that enchants so many of the socialist brand seekers. He comes across like your crazy uncle who says you can have zero balance on your income tax situation, but still get a $2,000 return check. Or he promises off $50k in college debt-credit if you just go collect trash along some interstate for a week. I think Bernie could even go and draft up some legislation for a free colonoscopy for everyone at age forty, which has zero cost for the individual.

Oh, absolutely but that should have ended in July 2016 when he was exposed. I know some of his supporters were angry with him, but that seems to have been temporary.

Sanders, like everyone else, can’t personally control everyone who works or volunteers on his campaign. Could even have been a Hillary guy looking to make some issues, wouldn’t put anything past that crowd anymore.

Also the hit pieces on Liawatha make me think that we are going to be Obama-ed again by Soros.

So he asked her if he could touch her hair and she said yes.

But since she didn’t like how much hair he touched, he’s being accused of sexual harrassment.

And it’s all Bernie’s fault?

This is 21st century journalism.

Am I being too conspiratorial or could some of Bernie’s 2020 rivals be trying to get stories out there to get rid of him. Say what you want about old Crazy Uncle Joe Biden being in the lead in the early polls but I think that’s simply on name recognition.

When it comes voting time in Iowa and New Hampshire, the old Crazy white guy uncle the left will want will be Crazy Old Bernie. If he takes Iowa and New Hampshire it’s all but over.

I wonder where this story could have come from? Well, we know that it isn’t from Hillary because she just isn’t that vindictive is she? lol

Huh?

It wasn’t BERNIE that did this!!

Dems WANT ‘inclusive’; so this is what happens when you ‘include’ marginal folks that want help your campaign; AND to run their hands through your; uh; hair.

... legislation for a free colonoscopy...

The Dems have 'included' SO many folks that would do this for FREE with a short, polyp finding tool.
