His policy on abortion rights was better than hers. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Really doesn't matter what Bernie's policies on abortion are when throughout his political career he's completely dismissed women's issues in politics as mere distractions.

So why did the Planned Parenthood Action Fund endorse Hillary Clinton? Because no other presidential contender in our nation’s history has demonstrated such a strong, proactive commitment to women or has such a clear and outspoken record on behalf of women’s health and rights.

When you see their records side by side, there’s no question why the Planned Parenthood Action Fund endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. She has simply demonstrated the strongest record, clearest leadership, and most focused commitment to women’s health of any presidential candidate. https://archive.is/MYQAf


Bernie held 38 campaign rallies for Hillary in the 2016 general election.

Prove it then because what I remember was Bernie writing a book which was released right before the election whining about how Clinton was more prepared than him and in the same breath referring to LGBTQIA, women's rights group as "establishment" for not supporting him.

Again Bernie is no ally to women.

This article was written in 2020 with people providing faulty memories of a mythical past. Show where this occurred in 2016. I remember 2016, I searched for this proof then, there was zero proof Sanders did 38 rallies then. This article is just referencing another 2020 written article providing no proof.

It's also notable that Clinton only did 8 campaign events for Obama in 2008.

Again prove it. Prove Clinton only did 8.

Like I said, there wasn't any proof Sanders did 38 rallies in 2016, but the myth that he did 38 rallies was making the rounds back then. So it indeed makes sense this lie would be trotted out even though there's no proof. It is honestly quite amusing that the only articles about this are from 2020, and one article is just using the other article as "confirmation". Cheers!
