Elizabeth Warren just called out Bernie Sanders on his bullshit
Now that Bernie Sanders has fully rejected his own progressive ideals in favor of campaigning dirty against his Democratic opponents, spending a month tacitly accepting the help of the Kremlin, and attacking the media for accurately reporting on him, things are rapidly shifting. The question now is how each of his Democratic primary opponents will go about calling him out for it.
Elizabeth Warren just got done taking a sledgehammer to Mike Bloomberg during the debate. Warren largely ignored Bernie Sanders during the debate, presumably out of deference to the fact that Bernie is (supposedly) a fellow progressive. But now that Bernie has gone completely off the deep end, even she’s had enough. Yesterday she called him out for refusing to release his medical records in the wake of his recent heart attack. Today, Warren is going after Bernie on guns:
.
In a relatively direct hit on Sanders, Warren says "people like Bernie" have "given a veto to the gun industry" and the pharmaceutical industry and the insurance industry by refusing to call for an end to the filibuster.

We’ll see how Elizabeth Warren decides to approach Bernie Sanders’ decision to spend a month keeping it a secret that the Kremlin was trying to rig the primary race for him, instead of working to get the information he declassified so he could warn the public. But it’s already clear that Warren is taking the gloves off. It’s about time. We expect Bernie has a short window of time to knock off the bullshit, before Warren rightly takes him down.
