Wow! Symone just had a really bad interview with Erin Burnett.

Erin compared and contrasted where she stands now on UHC v. where she stood with BS. Erin had the old clips ready. Symone tried to cover her azz with her loud, screaming voice but Erin would have none of it. Let me run you another clip from 2016, Symone. Bahahahaha!



Just another run-of-the-mill political operative. That won't work anymore. We need fresh faces in leadership without all the baggage.

1. This would be interesting to me if I knew who Symone is and who Erin Burnett is.

Symone Sanders is a senior advisor or some such on the Biden campaign...worked for Bernie before during the last election.

A friend of mine is a CNN addict, so i see it more than I’d care to at her house. I like MSNBC better, but I remember Symone from her time with BS.

in action. I missed the interview featured in this OP's unbiased review, but I'm sure she gave a better accounting of herself than reported.

5. She is overall further to the left than Biden.

That’s my belief. Too bad they made it about her and not the people running. Also too bad that some claiming to be on the “left” get all giddy over things like this. Damn screaming woman doing something she shouldn’t be doing.

Seems she didn’t want to work for someone whose top advisors helped to elect Trump and compare democratic proposals to the death toll of 9-11.

Biden has some great people, really superb. Symone is not one of them. Anita Dunn is worse though.

The rest seem great.

13. She did not do well

An easy way to answer is that her personal opinion is irrelevant. When Sanders paid her salary she had to be for single payer. Now that her employer has changed she has to advocate for his position. There is no shame in being a hired gun political professional.

I expect she will have a better answer prepared next time.
