184. It's a Bernie plot... why can't you see that?!?!

Apr 2019

Seriously though, some of the criticism of Lucy Flores is absurd in the extreme... I'm right there with you!! This is the same woman who backed up claims by some on Bernie's prior campaign who complained of harrassment. Seems like that would now make her own claims even MORE credible. But, nooooo... it's an evil plot to now HELP Bernie defeat Joe.

I actually like Joe as a person - though not fond of his moderate political positions - and I do hope he comes through this unscathed and runs in 2020. It would help, however, if Joe spoke publicly about this. He deserves to be heard, in response to a credible claim of unwanted touching, rather than being Frankened. We have to be fair to all those involved... and to the voters who must decide which Democrat has the best chance of going to go up against, and defeating, the Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Highlight:

Flores is on the board of our revolution [View all] Demsrule86 Mar 2019 OP

Of course she is. nt Kahuna7 Mar 2019 #1

This is a hit job. And she defended Sanders with campaign sexual Harrassment thing Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #2

Wrong! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #126

She says it is unfair to blame him when others do it too. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #141

Why not point out the fact that Flores backed up accusers' allegations of wrongdoing InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #147

Sure years after she knew about it. And then still defends him. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #177

And that's what makes a woman who comes forward to report unwelcome touching a liar?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #183

She said he invaded her ' space'. GOP meme and she is a sanders supporter. If this can be proven, Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #185

What do bet that like Sirota's she is ' coordinating with the campaign. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #3

Every dang politician you can name, male and female embraces... Kahuna7 Mar 2019 #13

Yes and she has a reason. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #29

I just went to google images and googled different politicians Kahuna7 Mar 2019 #11

I didn't hear Michelle or Barack claiming they felt "uncomfortable", did you? He is who he is: George II Mar 2019 #144

It's like a rite of initiation Politicub Mar 2019 #19

Wrong!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #127

What's "Wrong!" about it? George II Mar 2019 #142

Flores is NOT on the board... that's what's wrong about it. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #182

So this is "wrong"? .... George II Apr 2019 #186

Yes, outdated... just like the reports that Bernie filed only summary pages of his 2014 tax return. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #187

Ah, just like other things "disappear" from websites, Boards of Directors, twitter, etc.... George II Apr 2019 #190

Oh, so now she WAS on the Board... okay, glad you're at least starting to get your facts straight... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #192

Yes, she was on the board and mysteriously disappeared, but who knows when? George II Apr 2019 #193

Now, it's Flores "mysteriously disappeared"... oooh!! Okay, I'll bite...what's that sposed to mean?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #194

SMH.... George II Apr 2019 #196

One has to assume, if Flores is no longer listed as a Board member, then she's not a Board member... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #197

That wasn't the case with another organization peripherally associated with Sanders. George II Apr 2019 #198

Has Flores addressed the allegations of the BS campaign's pervasive predatory culture lapucelle Mar 2019 #4

She defended him said it was unfair to blame him. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #5

Why would it be unfair to blame BS? Why did the BS campaign feel empowered lapucelle Mar 2019 #7

She is a surrogate clearly. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #9

Well They Certainly Pointed A Finger At HRC For Any Number Of Things Me. Mar 2019 #26

Here's Flores in 2017 after the GE ripping on Hillary.. Cha Mar 2019 #150

Nice...Right? Me. Mar 2019 #155

Yes, Bring it on! Cha Mar 2019 #170

Wow! You find very interesting and relevant information, Cha! yardwork Mar 2019 #163

Thanks, yardwork.. Cha Mar 2019 #171

So, you're sayin any woman who's the least bit critical of Hillary doesn't deserve to be believed. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #195

They're certainly not fans of Harry S. Truman. George II Mar 2019 #143

Lucy Flores spoke out about Sanders staffer Arturo Carmona, I think she's somehwhat consistent seaglass Mar 2019 #27

She also said it wasn't Sanders fault. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #33

I didn't see that. I saw that she said she didn't think it was fair to only target Bernie seaglass Mar 2019 #48

She did sayit. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #85

Yeah, I don't see that as her saying it wasn't Bernie's fault. n/t seaglass Mar 2019 #102

I just learned from another OP that she knew in16 and did nothing about Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #116

Odd that she knew in 2016 and 2017 about things like this but didn't mention what happened.... George II Mar 2019 #156

Exactly right. Also event planner and her friend says it never hsppened. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #176

Sure, speaking up about sexism and harassment -- neither of which Biden's gestures represent. n/t Beartracks Mar 2019 #74

Didn't say it was. It was inappropriate touching without consent. It's on the spectrum. n/t seaglass Mar 2019 #101

Sorry, my reply was just an observation, not a judgment on your post. Beartracks Mar 2019 #168

No problem. Seems we are in agreement. n/t seaglass Mar 2019 #169

Right! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #128

But Flores has admitted she knew during the campaign. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #181

According to some, that makes Flores LESS credible because, apparently, she's OBSESSED w/ harassment InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #188

She defended Sanders. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #31

OMG!! Flores defended Bernie?!?! The horror!! Then she MUST be a liar!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #189

yes, she defended him and said he shouldn't be criticized for his own campaign JI7 Mar 2019 #62

This is an outrage!! Riiiiight... so throw Flores under the bus... and run back over her... twice. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #191

Stories change when viewed through the prism of extremist groups Renew Deal Mar 2019 #6

Yes they do. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #8

Sanders supporters think they benefit by knocking Biden out. Renew Deal Mar 2019 #17

Interesting that no Sanders supporters have commented here. George II Mar 2019 #18

I'll comment. I find it interesting that she must be lying because she supports Bernie Sanders. vsrazdem Mar 2019 #58

Remember Sirota and Beto. Sander's surrogateso have done this and the story is Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #86

So, under this new "#NotMeToo standard," if you're a woman who supports Bernie InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #133

Hmm, a day or two you claimed the new "Kamala standard", now this new "#NotMeToo standard".... George II Mar 2019 #157

Exactly. All this hypocritical nonsense is making me feel more supportive of her. Autumn Mar 2019 #172

It's a Bernie plot... why can't you see that?!?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #184

I find it interesting there is no connection between treestar Mar 2019 #166

I'll let Lucy Flores herself comment. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #64

She's on the board of Our Revolution, Sanders group, R B Garr Mar 2019 #65

Not according to the lady herself. Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #67

Our Revolution is a Sanders group. R B Garr Mar 2019 #68

It's odd that someone would claim to know better than the woman herself Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #69

Our Revolution is still a Sanders group. Her motivation R B Garr Mar 2019 #70

Why do you keep insisting this woman is lying when she was crystal clear what her position is? Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #71

I just explained. She is in damage control now to appear R B Garr Mar 2019 #76

RB I am troubled by the fact that you don't feel this woman is worthy of being believed Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #81

Sure, but the only thing is that she is in damage control, R B Garr Mar 2019 #82

This is not innuendo. And Flores told the tale. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #88

Makes me dislike her more. And I think she is lying. Demsrule86 Mar 2019 #104

Booooooommm!!! I stand with Lucy. #MeToo InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #134
