Showing Original Post only (View all)28-year-old Sanders wrote article saying "old bitch" teachers cause boys to grow up and have cancer [View all]
Please note: the offensive language in the headline was used by Bernie Sanders, quoted in a tweet about the article.
I've paraphrased the tweet above, and also corrected what she tweeted about Sanders' age. He was 28 then, not 34.
Tweet from RiotWomenn, with screenshots and a link to the article Sanders wroe for the Vermont Freeman:

Bernie Sanders as an adult wrote crazy nonsense
Windmills cause cancer according to Trump
34 year old Sanders wrote a newspaper article saying "old bitch" teachers cause boys to grow up & have cancer
"Old bitch" in an article like this? Weird misogyny

Here is the part where he called teachers "old bitches"
He has a toxic pathology about women.
We don't cause cancer anymore than windmills do
Ask Trump & Bernie ... 2 guys with "great judgement"

That quote is from the second page of Sanders' two-page article.
I got eyestrain trying to find it on the first page, which was on page 6 of that issue of the Vermont Freeman.
It's from page 7 of that issue.
The third image at this link (the first two are both of the first page of the article):

The quote is in the last complete paragraph in column 1.
This was published in December 1969.
