For Bernie Sanders, Claims of Sexism in 2016 Campaign Hang Over 2020 Bid
New York Times ^ | January 2, 2019 | Sydney Ember and Katie Benner

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.

When she reported the incident to Bill Velazquez, a manager on the Latino outreach team, he told her, “I bet you would have liked it if he were younger,” according to her account and another woman who witnessed the exchange. Then he laughed.

NYT is a useful idiot for the Deep State. If they continue this obvious hit job on Comrade Bernie will his kook lefty supporters turn on the RAT Party?

She should have “NO”. She encourage the predator and potential molester/rapist; she had no one to blame but herself. Idiot. Case dismissed.

The entire “Bernie bro” fiction was a hit cr at d by team Hillary. They employed online trolls to pretend to be Bernie male supporters to post sexist comments.

Interesting NYT is running this fictional hit piece. Could be a sign Bernie was contemplating another run. Hillary paid Bernie off quite well last rime. Bernie got a luxury suv and a second ho,e from it.

Also a sign Hillary May run yet again. She needs to run to stay out of jail.

Agreed. The NY Times is doing the DNC’s bidding to take down Bernie and protect their next designated nominee. I wonder if the far left will fall for it again.

The Dems are all in unison when it comes to taking down Trump, but they’re not unified in sharing power. Pelosi can’t play the charade of being a “moderate” socialist. The rabid far left rank and file voters won’t be satisfied for long. Now you have the Congressional Black Caucus putting out feelers they’ll be pushing for reparations. Hispanics, both legal and illegal, who were responsible for the Dems taking back Congress, will push for full amnesty plus they’ll push for their own power grab within the party. San Fran Nan will have trouble keeping the cover on the Dems socialist agenda. As history has shown us the RATS can’t keep all of their special interests happy at the same time! There will be a mighty implosion within their ranks in the next two years!
