Actually, I read t right here on DU just a couple of days ago that she quit over the harrassment of women in the Latinos for Bernie 2016 campaign arm (which, afaik, is the only part of that campaign where such behavior was reported). So she's consistent at least -- though her complaint now is a tempest in a teapot that I'm sure Biden can easily get past. He's dealt with much worse in his life and career and he's still going strong.

Please note that neither Bernie nor Biden is my favorite candidate, though if either of them gets the nomination, I'll definitely vote for him. I don't have a horse in this race but the endless brouhaha over this notascandal nothingburger has become maddening.

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

Criticizing her isn't required to see her assertions as not disqualifying to Biden's campaign. David__77 Apr 2019 #5

She is sent to take out Biden. Won't work. She is a Sanders surrogate sent by Sirota. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #18
