 This was Elizabeth Warren's worst debate She not only didn't mention Medicare for all a single time but um, she decided to double down on the smear of Bernie Sanders and I don't think that this will only hurt her chances in 2020 Like I believe this will leave a lasting mark on her legacy. That's how bad it is because understand what she's doing She is burning the bridge To progressives that she tried to rebuild after she abandoned us in 2016 I'll be at this time. It's much worse because she is permanently burning that bridge You hate to see it, but um politics is dirty Now the moment that we all expected would happen when the moderators would ask about this happened of course, if you didn't see the debate and It's interesting because Elizabeth Warren ultimately chose to Side-step everything, you know, she is still maintaining that Bernie Sanders claimed that that a woman couldn't win But you know, she kind of brushes it off as if it's not a very big deal She just simply disagreed and he's not actually sexist. Okay. Well, if that's the case then why are we talking about it? I mean, it's likely the case that you leaked it So clearly you thought that there would be some benefit in leaking this Some implication that maybe Bernie Sanders is sexist for allegedly telling you that a woman can't win So, I mean clearly it is a big deal and the fact that you're side-stepping it tells us that you want Bernie to be damaged by this Rather than going after the real target Joe Biden You're choosing to throw your friend under a bus while simultaneously preaching about unity absolutely disgusting and It wasn't just bad for her because of the substance her performance itself It was almost cringe-worthy because she face planted because she made a statement that was really bold and then Bernie Sanders had to correct her You're gonna see what I'm talking about. So I've said enough already Let's watch the clip and I have quite a bit to say about it afterwards CNN reported yesterday that and Senator Sanders Senator Warren confirmed in a statement that in 2018 you told her that you did not believe that a woman could win the election Why did you say that? Well, as a matter of fact, I didn't say it And I don't want to waste a whole lot of time on this because this is what Donald Trump and maybe some of the media want Anybody knows me knows that it's incomprehensible That I would think that a woman could not be president of the United States go to YouTube today There's a video of me 30 years ago talking about how a woman could become president of the United States in 2015 I Deferred in fact the senator Warren was a movement to draft senator Warren to run for president And you know what I said stayed back senator Warren decided not to run and I did I did run afterwards Hillary Clinton won The popular vote by three million votes How could anybody in a million years not believe that a woman could become president of the United States and let me be very clear If any of the women on this stage or any of the men on this stage win the nomination I hope that's not the case. I hope it's me But if they do I will do everything in my power to make sure that they are elected in order to defeat the most dangerous President in the history of our country. So senator Sanders Senator Sanders, I do want to be clear here You're saying that you never told senator Warren that a woman could not win the election. That is correct Senator Warren, what did you think when senator sanders told you a woman could not win the election? I Disagreed Bernie is my friend and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie But look this question about whether or not a woman can be president has been raised and it's time for us to attack it Head on and I think the best way to talk about who can win is by looking at people's winning record So can a woman beat Donald Trump? Look at the men on this stage collectively. They have lost ten elections The only people on this stage who have won every single election that they've been in are the women Amy Person on this stage who has beaten an incumbent Republican Anytime in the past 30 years is me and here's what I know The real danger that we face as Democrats is picking a candidate who can't pull our party together Or someone who takes for granted big parts of the Democratic Constituency we need a candidate who will excite all parts of the Democratic Party Bring everyone in and give everyone a Democrat to believe in that's my plan And that is why I'm gonna win senator Klobuchar senator Sanders. You can just to set the record straight I defeated an incumbent Republican running for Congress 1990 That's how I won beat a Republican congressman Number two, of course. I don't think there's any debate up here wasn't that 30 years ago. I Beat an incumbent Republican It's congressman and I said I was the only one who's beaten an incumbent Republican in 30 years Well, 30 years ago. It's 1990 as a matter of fact But I don't know that that's the major issue of the day I think what the major issue of the day is let's does anybody in their right mind think that a woman cannot be elected president That's enough. Nobody believes that if Hillary Clinton got three million votes more votes than Trump So who believes that a woman can't win of course a woman can win But the real question is how do we beat Trump and the only way we beat Trump? It by is by a campaign of energy and excitement and a campaign that has by far the largest voter turnout in the history of this country and I believe that our campaign has the strongest grassroots movement Thank you endorsed by many grassroots I want to give you the final word. So I do think it's the right question. How do we beat Trump? And here's the thing since Donald Trump was elected women candidates have outperformed men candidates in competitive races and in 2018 we took back the house we took back state houses because of women candidates and Women voters look don't deny that the question is there back in the 1960s people ask could a Catholic win Back in 2008 people asked if an African-American could win in both times the Democratic Party stepped up and Said yes got behind their candidate and we changed America. That's who we are. So before we talk about this one more time I just want to show you how brazen the moderators are and Taking Elizabeth Warren's side over Bernie's here Senator Sanders, I do want to be clear here You're saying that you never told Senator Warren that a woman could not win the election. That is correct Senator Warren, what did you think when Senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election? They are utterly shameless now. I thought that Bernie Sanders handled this brilliantly He said look, I don't want to waste a lot of time on this because this is what Donald Trump in the media want Precisely, but it's too late because this is what Elizabeth Warren wanted She wanted to fight and she's got it. There are reports that she's telling her supporters to deescalate But I mean it's a little late for that. Don't you think you brought it this far You could have attacked Joe Biden, but instead you chose to go after Bernie Sanders Good job He also brilliantly brought up how he advocated for war and to run Back in 2016. We all remember this. He did not want to run for president Nobody believes that he wants to be doing this right now. He tried to get Warren to run We were all part of this nerdy draft war and movement myself included But she didn't want to challenge Hillary Clinton She was too afraid to challenge the establishment. So Bernie stepped up Why would Bernie be dumb enough to not only tell his opponent that he doesn't think a woman can win But also draft someone in 2016 or try to draft them when he thinks the woman can win the entire Notion that he would say this is absurd on its face So, I mean Bernie handled that this as well as I think he could have but Elizabeth Warren then said look I disagreed with him Bernie is my friend and I'm not here to try to fight with Bernie Well, that's kind of what you're doing and then at the end of the debate when you refuse to shake his hand I mean is There really much of a friendship there left after you threw your friend under a bus your closest friend on that stage So she says the only person on this stage who has been an incumbent Republican in the past 30 years is me now this moment is Going to leave a lasting mark because not only is it incorrect But her response to learning that she's wrong was incredibly cringe-worthy and when Bernie Sanders corrected her She looked like the meme of the lady doing math in her head like it was that bad It was just it was utterly embarrassing for her and you know Bernie Sanders Corrected her. He said no actually I beat a Republican 30 years ago in 1990. It's actually 29 years technically It's not officially 30 years yet, but I digress, but he tried to correct her and then she still wasn't like believing him. I Mean, I think I literally face-palmed when I was watching this play out. It was that bad for her It was embarrassing. I mean to be wrong and then not believe that you're wrong Unreal and as Owen Higgins pointed out Elizabeth Warren was a Republican when Bernie Sanders beat a Republican So I just want you to stop and think about this imagine Elizabeth Warren on a debate stage against Donald Trump Bernie Sanders was being incredibly kind to her. He was handling her with kid gloves and she still managed to embarrass Herself, Bernie didn't own her. That was a self-own. He just said look no actually I did win an election against the Republican in the last 30 years and she didn't believe him She couldn't do the simple math probably because she was flustered. I don't know that I could do that in the moment as well But I mean let it go But she didn't and in spite of how badly that went for her guess what she did She took to Twitter to brag About the the attack that she lobbed against Bernie Sanders Not once when she tweeted out that video, but twice when she then reiterated the same sentiment Elizabeth Warren has the worst political instincts ever ever I Don't know what she's trying to do But I mean okay She's staking out a claim on the establishment side Like she tried to basically have one foot in the progressive camp and one foot in the establishments camp But when you take into account this attack and also the fact that she doesn't support Medicare for all anymore She's chosen aside It's the establishment and this shouldn't be surprising to anyone who's been paying attention She already chose the establishment over progressives But nonetheless, I think that progressives believe in forgiveness So we kind of skeptically tried to give her another chance while still supporting Bernie Sanders Because maybe she would have been the VP but after this don't think that's gonna happen I think that she permanently damaged her reputation among progressives and what was a genuine friendship With Bernie Sanders because she was trying to be an opportunist and wanted to smear him It's it's honestly sad it really is sad now She says ironically so the real danger that we face as Democrats is picking a candidate who can't pull our party together or someone Who takes for granted big parts of the Democratic constituency? Why don't you look in the mirror before saying something like that because you're taking for taking for granted all of the progressives as You throw Bernie Sanders your friend under a bus and She claimed the other day that Bernie Sanders or implied that Bernie Sanders was being divisive by attacking her by suggesting That her voters are affluent and well educated even though that didn't come down from the campaign officially Elizabeth Warren has no self-awareness. She has the worst political instincts ever and I really feel like this is going to do permanent damage To her legacy. It's sad So overall, you know, she sidestepped the entire implication that Bernie Sanders is sexist Didn't offer us any additional details about that private exchange didn't give us any more context didn't even you know entertain the possibility that maybe she perhaps Possibly misconstrued what he said she could have explained. Well, you know, he said what I thought was that a woman couldn't win I mean, we got none of that. She just sidestepped it and then after she said that Then what do the moderators do they pivot to Amy Klobuchar? Why you're not going to immediately give Bernie Sanders the chance to defend himself Really now finally skin in of course gave Elizabeth Warren the last word here because they love Elizabeth Warren quite a bit And they were obviously trying to prop her up the most during this debate And you know, she talked about how female candidates have recently outperformed the male candidates And here's the thing. She doesn't realize that she's preaching to the choir She's assuming that that 2016 Bernie brows stereotype is in fact true that we're all sexist Bernie brows And we hate women. No, you're preaching to the choir. We're all incredibly Energized and inspired by all of these women across the country who are stepping up to run for Congress and challenging Republicans and beating Republicans I've interviewed more than a dozen Female candidates on my show in fact out of the almost 30 congressional candidates. I've interviewed I think at least half of them possibly more of them have been women So you're preaching to the choir. We believe in women We are glad that so many women are running for Congress and are successful the most popular progressives are women AOC Rashida Tlaib Ilhan Omar Pramila Jayapal. So The fact that you're choosing to make it seem as if we're against women by Side-stepping this and just touting the benefits of women. Yes, we know but we want you to Explain to us whether or not you truly believe Bernie Sanders is sexist because that's the implication That's certainly what it seems like. She's priming us to believe She's not directly saying that Bernie Sanders is sexist. She didn't explicitly say that But she's priming us to believe that she's trying to get us to think that he sexist without saying it So, I mean, I was admittedly naive enough to maybe maybe think there's a small chance that her and Bernie Sanders would be able to Come together, but this aside work out some type of solution or mutual agreement that they kind of Disagreed on the way that this meeting took place. I don't know but That didn't happen and it fanned the flames and she made matters worse So what else can you say about this Elizabeth Warren time and again has been a colossal disappointment to progressives she Refused to run in 2016 when we desperately wanted her to when we were practically begging her to Okay, that's her choice, but Bernie Sanders stepped up She could have at least been there for us in the form of endorsing Bernie helping him out in Massachusetts. She didn't We asked her to speak out on behalf of the Standing Rock protesters who were being brutalized by militarized police She remained silent while benefiting from this lie that she's Native American for decades And now at a time when she should in theory be Bernie's biggest ally on that debate stage She is doing him the worst. It's sad But this is what she wanted. All right You made your bed Liz lie in it bridge burnt permanently
