Sexism Claims From Bernie Sanders’s 2016 Run: Paid Less, Treated Worse
NY Times ^ | 1/4/2019 | 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.(snip)

Mr. Velazquez said he does not recall making the flippant remark to Ms. Di Lauro and that he took her complaint seriously. He said he assigned two women to accompany the surrogate, and he checked in with them to make sure there were no problems.

Looks like they are starting the “get Bernie off the board move”. They are afraid of him getting on the ballot and the snowflakes love him. So they need to take him out before any primaries because they don’t want to tick off the 18-25 year olds like they did last time with the super delegate BS.

It’s well understood that Communists hold their women in common.
