New Audio Reveals What Was Said During Tense Exchange Between Sanders and Warren

McConnell Warns Senators Against Convicting Trump Ahead of Trial

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that convicting President Donald Trump in a Senate impeachment trial would “almost guarantee the impeachment of every future president.” McConnell noted that some Democrats have been trying to impeach Trump since he was inaugurated, including House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who campaigned for the chair by touting his expertise regarding impeachment. The push to impeach Trump “isn’t really about Ukraine policy or military assistance money,” McConnell said on the Senate floor in Washington on Tuesday. “Presidential impeachment may be the gravest process our constitution contemplates. It undoes the people’s decision in a national election, going about it in this subjective, unfair, and rushed way is corrosive to our institutions. It hurts national unity, and it virtually guarantees—guarantees—that future Houses of either party…

What was said during the tense exchange between Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) after the Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night was revealed about 24 hours later.

Warren and Sanders clashed during the debate over Warren’s claim that Sanders told her privately that a woman can’t become president. They did not shake hands after the debate.

Warren approached Sanders, ignoring his outstretched hand while speaking to him. It wasn’t clear what was said until CNN, a host of the debates, released the audio Wednesday night.

“I think you called me a liar on national TV,” Warren tells Sanders immediately after approaching him.

“What?” Sanders said.

“I think you called me a liar on national TV,” Warren said.

“You know, let’s not do it right now. If you want to have that discussion, we’ll have that discussion,” Sanders said.

“Anytime,” Warren said.

“You called me a liar,” Sanders continued. “You told me—all right, let’s not do it now.”

Tom Steyer, a billionaire activist who is running for president, was standing nearby as the pair spoke.

“I don’t want to get in the middle. I just want to say ‘Hi Bernie,’” Steyer said.

Sanders’ campaign declined to comment to The Epoch Times. Warren’s campaign has not responded to a request for comment.

The post-debate meetings between presidential contenders have been largely cordial during the Democratic primary race, which features a number of longtime friends and allies. Warren and Sanders have refrained from attacking each other during the race until the claim was leaked that Sanders told Warren in a 2018 meeting that a woman couldn’t win the presidency. Sanders issued a statement denying the claim while Warren said in a statement that Sanders did tell her that.

Asked by a debate moderator if he told her a woman couldn’t become president, Sanders said no. “I didn’t say it,” he said. He laid out why people shouldn’t believe the claim, referencing how he was saying 30-plus years ago that a woman should be president and that Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee in 2016, won the popular vote against then-candidate Donald Trump.

“You’re saying that you never told Senator Warren that a woman could not win the election?” CNN moderator Abby Phillip asked.

“That is correct,” Sanders said.

Phillip then turned to Warren.

“Senator Warren, what did you think when Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?” Phillip asked.

The camera showed Sanders laughing in disbelief while Warren answered: “I disagreed” before calling Sanders her friend.

House Votes to Send Impeachment Articles, Managers to the Senate

The House of Representatives voted to transmit articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate following a month-long delay. The House approved the matter in a 228-to-193-vote that was largely along partisan lines. It came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) named two House chairmen who led the impeachment inquiry as prosecutors for the Senate trial. They are Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who led the probe, and Judiciary Chair Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), whose committee approved the impeachment articles. Nadler called the House to vote on the managers just hours after they were named by the speaker. A 10-minute debate ensued between the GOP and Democrats on the floor, with Nadler again arguing that a “fair trial” in the Senate “must include additional documents and relevant witnesses.”…
