" You can understand why Warren seems to think Sanders’s disavowals ring a bit hollow. Sanders sat down for an interview with Chapo Trap House , the “dirtbag left” podcast whose hosts repeatedly serve up some of the most vicious and personal attacks on Warren. Sanders speechwriter David Sirota has appeared on their show while working on the campaign, as has national press secretary Briahna Joy Gray. From Warren’s point of view, it might seem like Sanders is speaking out of both sides of his mouth: vaguely disavowing online anger in public statements while his campaign reaches out and appeals directly to the people purveying it.

The purported aim of all the pro-Sanders trolling, the snake emojis directed at Warren on Twitter, and the vitriolic attacks on the Nevada Culinary Union is to shame or bully the targets into getting behind Sanders. Judging by this interview, it seems to have had the opposite effect on Warren."

No surprise to me about Chapo TH. Several people have recommended that podcast to me, but I couldn’t get past a few minutes of its testosterone stank.

There’s one where they’re laughing and cracking jokes about the MOVE bombing. Real good look, laughing at and mocking victims of government violence. Truly progressive of them.

Apologies for the sarcasm burns all over the carpet.

I figured she’d be too busy after leaving her ambassadorship.

Yes, let’s listen instead to Joe Biden tell that story to a black audience again about the time he stood up to Corn Pop.

The Root is often great, but I don’t take everything it prints as gospel.

Right? Let’s see Biden go one on one in a debate before we send him into one with Trump.

Ain’t no way that even half the delegates will be chosen after this evening.

And - other states need their time to vote - and to get geared up for the general.

The Rep should also consider whether his guy could benefit from more practice.

Just don’t have a live audience. they are the worst part of the debates anyway. I mean, that’s if you’re being generous about why they actually don’t want to see Biden make a fool of himself live, on stage, again.

There were about 14 names on the ballot in Michigan. For whatever reason, Gabbard was the first name on the list.
