Comedian Liza Treyger appeared on MSNBC Friday night and crushed the idea that Bernie Sanders should seek the presidency in 2020. Treyger said Sanders should fall back and it is time for him to "fade into the background."
"We saw that with the flipping of the House and everyone voting, everyone's really excited with young, female candidates, especially women of color," Treyger said on 'The Beat' with host Ari Melber.
"I'm sorry guys I’m just sick of old white dudes. Go away," she concluded.
Why is it mindless?
It may be an perceptive and prescient assessment of what would impede the turning out of votes to achieve the desired end.
