Bernie 2020

"Our Side" +

:30 TV ad run from Jan. 14, 2020 in Iowa.

[Music] Female Announcer:  In Donald Trump's Washington, women's rights are under attack.

But Bernie Sanders is on our side and always has been.

Fighting to protect a women's right to choose, to fully fund Planned Parenthood, make child care affordable, and guarantee paid family leave and equal pay.

Sanders (clip from rally):  Women do not need a cent on the dollar.  They need the whole damn dollar.  [cheering]

Sanders (voiceover):  I’m Bernie Sanders and I approve this message.

Notes:  The context of this ad was a tiff (or "feud") between Sanders and Warren over a recent report that Sanders had told Warren in a private meeting in 2018 that a woman couldn't win the presidency.  The matter was raised in the Jan. 14 debate, and Sanders denied making such a statement leading to what CNN described as "a tense post-debate exchange."
