In reply to the discussion: Looks like Sanders is announcing, or not, on Jan 12 [View all]lapucelle
(21,115 posts)33. Organizing for Bernie is promoting/hosting the livestream events.
Rich Pelletier is in a leadership position with Organizing for Bernie, a federal PAC. Pelletier's name came up in the New York Times story about the alleged sexual harassment / alleged sexual violence / alleged predatory culture during the 2016 campaign.
Ms. Di Lauro [former BS strategist in Nevada] said she told several people who were high up in the campaign, including Rich Pelletier, who served as national field director, about her encounter in Nevada with the surrogate, a Mexican game show host named Marco Antonio Regil. But she felt she was not taken seriously by the campaign.
According to The Times:
Mr. Pelletier did not respond to phone messages and emails seeking comment.
Given that both BS and Pelletier seem to be involved in the upcoming livestream, maybe it will be a response to the allegations rather than an announcement
