Hillary Clinton got her revenge on her once rival Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders. She suggested in a new book by NBC News reporter Ali Vitali that she believes Bernie Sanders is a sexist saying of him, “I know the kind of things that he says about women and to women.”
Vitali’s new book “Electable: Why America Hasn’t Put a Woman In the White House…Yet” where she reports on Hillary’s more vindictive side.
She wrote of Sanders and Elizabeth Warren:
“Hillary Clinton was watching this debate moment, too. “I believed her because I know Sanders, and I know the kind of things that he says about women and to women,” she told me, her distaste for her 2016 opponent still palpable.”
“So, I thought that she was telling an accurate version of the conversation they’d had.”
I asked what she thought about the hot mic moment.
“I wish she had done it on mic,” Clinton said. “I wish that she had pushed back in front of everybody.
I think it weakened her response that it was after the cameras were supposedly off and, you know, they were just standing there.
I think it’s important that you call it out when it happens, and that was my only regret for her: that I wish she had just turned on him and said, ‘You know, it’s one thing to mislead people about your healthcare plan.
It’s another thing to tell someone to her face that a conversation which you know happened didn’t happen.’ I mean, that would have been, I think, a really important moment for her.”
Ultimately, it didn’t matter whether Warren purposefully capitalized on the moment on mic, off mic, or not at all.
She wrote that Sander’s supporters mobilized and lashed out at Warren and used #NeverWarren to organize their response.
The Daily Mail reported:
Warren’s confrontation with Sanders came after he reportedly told her in a 2018 private meeting that a woman could not win the presidency against Trump.
Sanders denied ever saying this, which prompted Warren to confront him following the event.
‘I think you called me a liar on national TV,’ Warren told Sanders, who then tried to cut the conversation short.
‘Let’s not do it right now,’ Sanders responded. ‘You want to have that discussion, we’ll have that discussion.’
Warren appeared to have a conversation once more before being cut off.
‘You called me a liar, you told me — all right let’s not do it now,’ Sanders said.
Hillary Clinton is speculated to try and make a run for president again in 2024. She has not announced yet. And many think Trump will run again, but he has not made any official announcements.
