96. You're acting like Lucy Flores was the only one. Amy Lappos CLEARLY wasn't a Bernie supporter

According to Lappos,"if Biden truly supports women and gender equality he would step aside and support one of the many talented and qualified women running. The same goes for the other men who have thrown their hat in the ring." Based on her statement one can reasonably assume she supported Hillary Clinton over Sanders in the 2016 primaries.

Regarding Ms. Flores;In her interview with the Huffington Post Flores said not only said she hadn’t been in contact with the Sanders campaign at all, but said outright that she doesn’t plan to back him in 2020.

There are two other women who have come forward in addition to Flores and Lappos. Do I believe that Joe Biden knowingly meant to make them feel uncomfortable and had any other motives besides sincere affection? ABSOLUTELY NOT. So enough with the unfounded Bernie conspiracy theories.

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