78. Not only that, he put out a statement that Richards needed to apologize for the "tone" of a doctored

video. Rw doctored a video and then media went after Richard and PP. Richard apologized for the tone of the video, but she continued stating the video was fake, doctored. Sanders was asked about it the day of. He hadn't educated himself or knew what the issue was. All he does is throw out that yes, Richard owed an apology for the tone of the video.

He ended up doing more damage to women because he could not spend a couple minutes to be informed what the issue was. HRC came out making it clear she stood with PP and shame on the people that doctored the video to attack PP.

It took Sanders a couple weeks to get on the right page with this mess.

Sanders does the least amount of work, to stand with women. It is not his interest and he has made it clear to all of us.

Geez, he stated that there was a real issue with sex selection in abortion here in the U.S. Who says something like that while claiming to being an advocate for women. He doesn't bother educating himself.

If I were to vote in a presidential
