Townhall ^ | 10/20/17 | Leah Barkoukis

Sen. Bernie Sanders announced Thursday he would not be able to speak at the Women’s March’s first annual National Women’s Convention next week.

The Vermont senator will instead be traveling to the hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.

“I want to apologize to the organizers of the Women’s Convention for not being able to attend your conference next Friday in Detroit. Given the emergency situation in Puerto Rico, I will be traveling there to visit with San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and other officials to determine the best way forward to deal with the devastation the island is experiencing," he said in a statement.

Is Puerto Rico closing down after next week?

Sounds to me like there was a lot of negative feedback about a “guy” speaking - he’s just trying to get out of it without making the pink hat brigade look stupid (good luck with that).

Bernie is good at backing down and letting females take him over.

Bernie is smarter than he looks. Did he back out when they told him everyone had to wear a pussy hat?

What emergency situations in PR? The witch decided to sell all the donations on the black market? Bernie wants in on the cut?

WOW, I just searched for an image of Sanders wearing a pink hat - NONE! Must get back to work, otherwise I’d get right on that.
Meanwhile, ya right, sudden emergency in PR and you HAVE to go there the day of the convention.

I guess he figures “starving Puerto Ricans” makes a better backdrop from which to slam Trump, than a flock of pink-hatted clucking hens.

That “emergency” has passed — this is planning for the future and frankly doesn’t involve you at all, bernie.

PR is just a PR opportunity for you — you don’t want to get torn to pieces by a bunch of fat lezzy misandrysts who blame you for hiLIARy’s self-created loss.

The Dhimmis just striped all the Bernouts from the DNC leadership - Bernie is having a tantrum. Maybe he can encourage his faithful to Bern something down.

He is meeting with the mayor to discuss the best line of attack to use on Trump - and for no other reason.

In other words

Better staged photo ops accusing Trump of “ genocide” while posing in front of a warehouse full of food and water with the incompetent partisan shill feminazi mayor of San Juan

You can BE nuts and speak at the Wimmins’ Convo.

You just can’t HAVE nuts and do it.

“I will be traveling there to visit with San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and other officials to determine the best way forward to deal with the devastation the island is experiencing,”

In other words, “there’s Commie Collusion in Puerto Rico and I need to be there with my ‘stick’ to help stir the pot of corruption and discontent.” Maybe while he’s there, he can do a few circumcisions too.

Now, there’s two kindred spirits for you.

Hahaha. Irrelevant jerk socialists meet to discuss their failed ideas and to massage their deflated loser egos.

Six weeks after the hurricane is not an emergency. He’s there scouting out another vacation home on the water.

Here's how it will go in PR:

Sen. Bernie Sanders: Ola, Comrade Yulin Cruz!

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz: Ola, Comrade Sanders! Welcome to the people's paradise of Puerto Rico.

Sanders: Viva la revolucion! Long live Che!

Cruz:VIVA! Pina Colada?
