Summary
Bernie Sanders Apologizes Following #MeToo Allegations after several women came forward with complaints about his 2016 campaign. Feminist activists and organizers were quick to condemn "bernie bros" as they were called for rampant discrimination in Bernie's 2016 campaign.
This shows us the pitfalls facing Democrat men coming into 2020, a hungry media looking for anything salacious to go after people with.
Donald Trump's supporters don't care for or trust the media so this issue is likely going to present a massive advantage for Trump and Republicans in the 2020 presidential race
We still have yet to see who the democratic 2020 presidential candidates will actually be so for now we can only speculate.

| 0:00.0 | Bernie Sanders has issued an apology after several women came forward with accusations against his 2016 campaign. |
| 0:06.7 | They said they faced general discrimination in the workplace, some women were paid lower than their male counterparts, |
| 0:12.1 | and some women even faced sexual harassment. |
| 0:15.0 | Now, I don't think it's fair to blame Bernie for the actions of those individuals, |

| 0:35.1 | this story is going to run far and wide because it's going to generate clicks. |
| 0:38.4 | Naturally, activists on the left who like Bernie are rather upset that this is being used to smear Bernie Sanders. |
| 0:44.3 | But it's not just Bernie, because the media has run stories about Joe Biden and even Beto O'Rourke. |
| 0:49.7 | Now, Donald Trump supporters don't really care when Trump gets accused of similar things. |
| 0:54.0 | In fact, many of them don't even trust a lot of the allegations, but the left is different. |
| 0:57.6 | The left champions meet to feminism and diversity. |
| 1:00.7 | And thus, these men running for the Democratic ticket are going to face a hostile media and smears against them. |
| 1:07.7 | So today, let's take a look at what's going on with Bernie Sanders |
| 1:10.0 | and some of the other Democrats who are running in 2020 who are going to face similar problems. |
