    That was what it was, but Warren was apparently telling aids it was something more vitriolic and then tried to turn it into a hot mic campaign killer. Felt super bad for Bernie watching that shit go down.

      Yeah it is rare that I feel empathy for a politician on a personal level, but that betrayal had to hurt.

      Moderator: [paraphrasing]Bernie did you say a woman can't be president?

      Bernie: "As a matter of fact, I didn't say it. [...] Anybody that knows me knows it's incomprehensible that I would think a woman can not be president." etc etc he goes into his usual spiel about beating trump with platform and ignoring the media scandals.

      Moderator: [So you're saying that you never told Senator Warren that a woman could not win the election?

      Bernie: That is correct.

      Moderator: Senator Warren, what did you think when Bernie Sanders told you that a woman could not win the election?

      Warren: I disagreed.

      I'm trying to find the article that laid out exactly what he said, it was in a book later. edit:I give up. I even checked Warren's book. It's out there somewhere.
