sanders used this excuse to explain the sexual harassment of female staffers. Sarah was one of the former workers who complained about sexual harassment by the sanders campaign See https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016224223 Sarah was excluded from the 30 minute meeting that was supposed to address these issues.

The excuse for that mess was that sanders was "too busy getting message out." That excuse has a limited shelf life

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
