(15,265 posts)about Sanders are setting up a turf war.
My main intent was to point out that the candidate of choice of the Sanders hating crowd had a blatant sexual harrassment claim during her 2008 campaign. Numerous members of her campaign recommended that she fire this man and she declined to do so.
When this aired supporters on this site defended and or tried to explain away the story.
I am not doing that here. Sanders has spoken out on the allegations. There is a CNN video at this link.

I will comment that I believe what he had to say about the matter but will reserve final judgment until the dust clears
However at this pooint it seems his knowledge of and involvement of harrasment ocurring in his campaign pales in comparison to that 2008 incident where the harraser was not fired and allowed to work for a group supporting Hillary where he was fired over another harrassment claim in 2016. That many here felt was a non issue.
