As Sunday turned to Monday, Briahna Gray, national press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, posted a series of criticisms of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Twitter.
Gray began with subtlety, highlighting a speech the Vermont senator gave on the House floor in the 1990s in support of gay military veterans and service members. And, in what appeared to be a subtweet at Warren, she noted that Sanders delivered the speech at a time when “your fave was still ‘evolving’ (read ‘triangulating’) on gay rights.” (In a follow-up conversation, Gray would not say to whom she was referring when she said “fave.” Warren supported same-sex marriage during her first Senate run in 2012, prior to former President Barack Obama’s “evolution.”)
Next, Gray noted that under Sanders’ pro-union legislation, Warren’s campaign would be forced into mediation for failing to reach a collective bargaining agreement so many months after recognizing its campaign staff’s union.
Finally, in a post shortly after midnight, Gray slammed Warren’s refusal to endorse a national rent control law, echoing a critique voiced earlier in the weekend by left-wing activists. She suggested that it contradicted Warren’s self-described can-do attitude toward other ambitious policies.
