US Democratic debate exchange: Elizabeth Warren told Bernie Sanders he called her a liar on national TV

ABC  

Elizabeth Warren accused fellow Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders of calling her a liar before a national television audience during a tense, post-debate exchange. Key points: Democratic candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders disagreed over whether Senator Sanders told Senator Warren a woman could not win the 2020 presidential election After the debate, Senator Warren approached Senator Sanders, rejected his outstretched hand, and accused him of calling her a liar on national TV Senator Sanders responded saying "let's not do this right now" In a confrontation caught on camera after the debate, Senator Warren refused to shake Senator Sanders' hand, but the audio of their interaction was unable to be heard by the audience. But that changed on Wednesday, when Senator Warren said Senator Sanders had told her in a private 2018 meeting that a woman could not be elected president. That exchange lasted only a few minutes, but after the debate was over, Senator Warren approached Senator Sanders, who proffered his hand for her to shake.
