Tuesday’s democratic party debate was as uninteresting as all other democratic party debates with one exception: Elizabeth Warren refused to shake her “friend” Bernie Sanders’ hand. A little tiff between the two leftist kooks has apparently grown into a full-blown war. Warren had leaked a story claiming Bernie told her that a woman can’t be president and now the once close allies are devouring each other. Joe Biden would be happy about this if he had any idea what was going on or where the hell he is.
A couple of days ago CNN reported that anonymous sources said Bernie had told Warren that a woman can’t be President of the United States. Sanders has denied this, but Warren claimed it was true and was outed as the source of this anonymous leak. At the democratic debate in Iowa, moderators jumped on this finally interesting thing about the candidates.
Moderator Abby Philip didn’t ask Sanders if he said this to Warren but rather why he did, because that’s how fake news operates.
“Well, as a matter of fact, I didn’t say it and I don’t want to waste a whole lot of time on this, because this is what Donald Trump and maybe some of the media want. Anybody who knows me knows that it’s incomprehensible that I would think that a woman cannot be President of the United States,” said Sanders.
“So Senator Sanders, I do want to be clear here, you’re saying that you never told Senator Warren that a woman could not win the election?” Phillip asked.
“That is correct,” replied Sanders.
Based on Sanders’ denial, Philip went double fake news with this question to Elizabeth Warren:
“What did you think when Senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?”
Notice how Phillip has determined that Sanders really did say that to Warren?
“I disagreed. Bernie is my friend, and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie. But, look, this question about whether or not a woman can be president has been raised and it’s time for us to attack it head-on. And I think the best way to talk about who can win is by looking at people’s winning record,” said Warren.
Notice how Warren confirmed that Sanders told her a woman can’t be president?
Warren’s poll numbers have been dropping and her campaign is in a free fall, while Bernie has been surging in the polls. Warren leaked this story that Bernie is a He-Man Woman-Hater in an attempt to steal some of his thunder back. Bernie is the one who should be pissed about this, but following the debate, he reached out to shake Warren’s hand:
At the end of the debate, Bernie Sanders reached out to shake hands with Elizabeth Warren and Warren just rejected it.

And Warren refused to shake Bernie’s hand. Unfortunately there is no audio, but it looks like Warren is giving Bernie some shit. Eventually he gives her a piece of his mind and it’s very clear that the once-close friends ain’t so friendly anymore.
Joe Biden is loving this. He gave yet another lackluster debate performance, but Warren and Bernie feuding is nothing but good news for his campaign.
