NY Times: For Bernie Sanders, Claims of Sexism in 2016 Campaign Hang Over 2020 Bid

65. I see plenty of hippocrisy, for sure.

You were lecturing all over the Hillary story when it broke, faulting her for not firing him until 2016 for another issue....

False equivalency and Whataboutism.

No one is saying that he was aware of the gender economic inequality and the culture of harassment that his staffers reported, so that's a straw man. A threefer!

But please tell me - how many of "those candidates us superior Democrats support that have all done negative things" invited a harasser who wasn't fired after multiple complaints to a gathering of progressives for their institute more than a year after allegations against him by staffers became public?

Are you going to "sling shit," as you put it, like you did at HRC campaign for not disowning a known harasser immediately? Because if not, I think that's an example of a double standard as well as hippocrisy.

Interstingly, he made it a point to say that Jane (not Bernie) invited him, and there were no selfies with the senator himself, who picked him to be the Latino Outreach director.



You could also just own it, and say that you have an emotional response to criticism of Senator Sanders, and feel a need to go into protective mode, no matter the situation.
