Hill.TV host Krystal Ball is doubling down on her criticism of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) amid the ongoing feud between the Massachusetts senator fellow progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
Ball, who is a vocal supporter of the Vermont independent, on Thursday pointed to Sanders’s long history of being supportive of women’s rights and hit Warren over her past affiliation with the Republican Party.
“Please explain to me how it serves the cause of women to kneecap a senator who has consistently stood up for the economic and human rights of women since the time that Elizabeth Warren was a Republican,” Ball said.
“Help me understand white feminists, why whether or not Bernie Sanders was sufficiently woke and PC in that conversation should matter more to women than whether they have health care, are bankrupt from student debt, have access to free childcare,” she continued.
“Explain it slow so I really get it because this makes no sense,” she added.
The two progressive firebrands have yet to make peace following their clash during the Democratic presidential primary debate this week.
Sanders told reporters Thursday that they had not spoken since the dust-up.
During Tuesday’s debate, the pair sparred over a CNN report that claimed that Sanders had told Warren in a 2018 private meeting that a woman couldn’t win the White House. While Warren stood by her corroboration of the report, Sanders vehemently denied making such a comment.
Warren was seen approaching Sanders after the debate and appeared furious at the Vermont senator for denying her claim.
“I think you called me a liar on national TV,” Warren said, according to audio released later by CNN.
