Sounds to me like there was a lot of negative feedback about a “guy” speaking - he’s just trying to get out of it without making the pink hat brigade look stupid (good luck with that).
Bernie is good at backing down and letting females take him over.
I guess he figures “starving Puerto Ricans” makes a better backdrop from which to slam Trump, than a flock of pink-hatted clucking hens.
