Warren say anything intentionally dishonest. Sanders' campaign had been saying she was the candidate of the "elite", a republican talking point. I can't blame her for being upset. It wouldn't kill Sanders to apologize.

I just realized that his sort of thing makes my more supportive of Warren. The same thing happened when Harris attacked Biden, it made me more supportive of him, less supportive of her.

I just lost a lot of respect for Elizabeth Warren.

I can easily imagine Bernie making some kind of comment about how it is harder for a woman to win against Trump. Maybe more, maybe less. But if Warren was so offended, why did she team up with him over the past year? And now that they are rivals rather than allies, she decides to let loose with the dirt that she was happy to overlook when it was inconvenient?

And now she has supporters pledging their 'belief' as though she had accused someone of raping her? This is really low.
