New audio has revealed a dramatic and bad-tempered exchange between 2020 liberal Democratic rivals Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders at the end of Tuesday night’s Iowa debate.
The audio from CNN, which hosted the debate, showed Warren, a senator for Massachusetts, accusing Sanders of calling her “a liar” after the Vermont senator denied during the debate that he told her in a private conversation in 2018 that he did not believe a woman could win the White House.
“I think you called me a liar on national TV,” Warren said.
“You know, let’s not do it right now,” Sanders said. “If you want to have that discussion, we’ll have that discussion.”
Warren said, “Anytime.”
“You called me a liar,” Sanders said. “You told me — all right, let’s not do it now.”

I know. They are all liars.
How do you know a politician is lying? Their mouth is moving
Of course pocahantis is a lier? Shes a real American Indian?
These debaters were all liars, each in a characteristic way.
Wow…Pocahontas has lied so often during her campaign why is she shocked that she is being called a liar.
If not lies these Democrat politicians wouldn’t have what to say.
Elizabeth is a despicable lady. In poll after poll, it shows Biden and Sanders getting the female vote, NOT Warren. The country can’t stand her. Her hypocrisy is out in the open.
Sanders, to his credit, says it like it is and doesn’t resort to personal attacks on his opponents. He never has.
Very unseemly for her to lose her cool like that. Furthermore, if she was telling the truth she should have also complained that HE lied when he claimed he never said that.
What really happened? Did he lie? Did she lie? Did someone misremember or misunderstand what was actually said? Is the truth somewhere in the middle? We have no way of knowing, but Senator Warren (IMO) comes off quite poorly in the exchange.
I think its pretty clear to all – they all lie as they are politicians, they just don’t remember anymore what lies they say.
There are three sides to every story. His version, her version and the truth.
Incorrect. Men are always guilty as charged. They are all incompetent, irresponsible, one track minded evil gender. Women just have to put turn on the crocodile tears and suddenly they are transformed into the saint of the century. Little angels.
It takes one liar to know another
It’s hard for me to believe that I would side with Bernie Sanders on anything but it is way more likely that Warren is lying than he is.
The point is not whether one was lying or not (all politicians lie all the time and accuse each other of lying all the time on national TV), but that they had an agreement not to say anything negative about the other in public. They are working very carefully not to jeopardize the other if one has to withdraw from race. Warren’s story about him saying a woman can’t win being brought to light was a breach of their agreement, so he technically had the right to deny it and say she’s lying. She likely feels that being as she wasn’t one to bring it up, she wasn’t required to claim it never happened when questioned. The truth is completely and utterly irrelevant (any politician knows better than to bring up something as trivial as the truth). All their discussing is who is in breach of their mutual agreement. There is something to learn from their conduct about civility towards an opponent for the greater good of they movement.
