ON #WARREN'S LOW BLOW

Since this will come up at the #DemDebate, I want to explain her attack on #Bernie.

When CNN leaked the story, Warren could have said: "We're friends and he was referring to the challenges women candidates face. I won't grace these leaks."

Instead...
...Warren's campaign put out a statement that effectively calls #Bernie sexist and then claims to want to move on.

The net effect is to try to damage the leading progressive in the race, which gives a big boost to the establishment wing.

Now why on earth would she do that?
People who follow me know how dedicated I am to fighting sexism. It was everything I did in 2016 and I was mocked and smeared for it when I defended Hillary.

But this isn't about sexism. It's about the incredibly questionable timing of lobbing this out there as #Bernie surges.
EVERYTHING IS ON THE LINE.

Our future. Our planet. It's all at stake.

We can't afford to have the centrist wing screw things up again.

Why assail Bernie now? Why dredge up a 2018 conversation among friends a couple of weeks before Iowa?

WHY??
To be clear: My reference to "centrist wing" in the above tweet was about #Biden, #Buttigieg, and the billionaires.

This unwarranted last-minute attack on Bernie only gives a boost to those centrists.
