Bernie Sanders says he hopes Americans 'look at the totality of a candidate,' not their gender amid feud with Warren
"If you're looking at [former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete] Buttigieg, he's a young guy and people have said, 'Well, he's too young to be president.' And you look at this one and she's a woman," Sanders continued."Everybody brings some negatives, if you like. I would just hope very much that the American people look at the totality of a candidate. Not at their gender, not at their sexuality, not at their age, but at everything. Nobody is perfect.
Sanders has vehemently denied the claim on numerous occasions since then. At the forum, he said:"I've always believed and believe today that a woman can be elected president of the United States. If I am not the nominee and a woman is, I will do everything I can to make sure that she is elected." Warren and Sanders traded accusations after the closing statements at the seventh 2020 Democratic debate this past Tuesday. As the candidates moved to shake hands with each other, Warren evaded Sanders' outstretched hand as she approached him. A tense and dramatic exchange then ensued with Warren accusing Sanders of calling her a liar. Sanders responded by reminding her that she had done the same to him.
