@RepJayapal told me she became 1st state legislator in Washington state to endorse @BernieSanders in ‘16. He backed her early for Congress that year thehill.com/homenews/house…
“I will endorse but we just have to beat Trump, and I want a bold progressive to beat Trump. I will throw-in at some point”
“Sexism is real. There is no question that she thinks she heard that from Bernie; there is no question that Bernie doesn’t think he said that” - @RepJayapal
It wld mean that the entire top current leadership team of @USProgressives Caucus (CPC) is backing SANDERS over WARREN:
- CPC Co-chair MARK POCAN
- Vice Chair RO KHANNA
- Whip ILHAN OMAR
They are Co-Chairs Jayapal & Pocan, Vice Chair Ro Khanna & Whip Ilhan Omar.
And don’t forget Squad members @AOC & @RashidaTlaib
“We are building the progressive movement that will bring justice & opportunity & transform our country.”
