I dont think Bernie would have said a woman cant be President. He may have said a woman couldnt win against Trump, because of how ruthlessly misogynistic Trump is. And Elizabeth could have genuinely believed she was hearing him say a woman couldnt win a presidential election in the general sense.
I think they both believe they are telling the truth and have good reasons for thinking that. Misunderstandings like this are so easy to create, and now everyone is doubling down, and Putin and Trump are loving it.
