I find the whole situation absolutely hilarious. Here's a video that summarizes it better than the political commentators ever could.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJGSMDjI7lkAnd here's a TLDR.
Warren's crew "leaked" to CNN that Bernie "allegedly" told warren (years ago) that a woman couldn't win. Warren confirmed this. This is timed right before the first democratic primary elections for 2020.
During a democratic debate held by CNN a few days ago. Bernie was asked whether he actually said that and he denied it. Right after that Elizabeth Warren was asked, not for proof but something along the lines of "How did what Bernie said make you feel?"
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the moderators asked Bernie something like: "So, Bernie, when you took out your tiny dick and started chasing down Warren and fell down on your ass, did it hurt?"
Bernie: "That never happened" Bernie gets cut off
Moderator: "Warren, you have 3 hours to tell us how that felt and also to make fun of Bernie"
Now, unsurprisingly there's people that are spamming Warren's social media feeds with snake emojis and pictures of snakes. Simply put she pretended to be Bernie's friend. Bernie in fact supported her if she wanted to run in 2016 and only run when she said she wouldn't. And now she tries to kneecap his campaign like that.
The media's spin, including wired magazine, is that people spamming Warren's political cliche posts with snakes is somehow sexist. (Reference:

The whole situation makes me question mine and other people's sanity. Do they really believe people would swallow this down? What happened to journalistic standards?
