Ahead of Super Tuesday, Elizabeth Warren says she gets along with Sanders: 'I like Bernie'
Elizabeth Warren took a subtle dig at former Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during her appearance on 'The Ellen Show' on March 2.
The show's host, Ellen DeGeneres, complimented Warren on her debating skills which she claimed had a lot of "fire" and that she was never afraid of saying things that other candidates might think twice.
"How do you think you would do, debating President Trump?" Ellen asked. "You know, I'll be honest, there's a 50-50 chance he doesn't show up against a strong woman," she said taking her first subtle dig at Clinton, who has debated the POTUS in the past, during the 2016 elections.
Trump has the option of not showing up at the general debates in 2020. A New York Times article last year reported that the President had his misgivings about the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonprofit entity that sponsors the debates, so he might choose to sit them out this year.
If he does show up to the debates this year, however, Warren said, "We'll tell you this though, he's never getting behind me," alluding to the creepy lurking antics that Trump resorted to during presidential debates with Clinton in 2016.
Warren said that if he decided to pace behind her, she will just turn around and tell him to get away from her.
During the interview, Warren also brought up the fact that the upcoming documentary on Clinton's life, called "Hillary," talked about the fact that "people don't like Bernie (Sanders)" and "he never got anything accomplished."
At this, Warren defended Sanders, who is supposed to be her rival in the present race. "So look, I like Bernie. I've got along with Bernie for a long, long time. We worked on a lot of the same issues long before I got into politics," she said.
She, however, added: "What's going to be crucial is that we pull this Democratic Party together because the guy we are fighting against - Donald Trump - this man who has built an entire campaign on hate and division. We need to prove that our country is better than that. We're gonna need a unified Democratic Party to make that happen."
