Tweeted Bernie Sanders, quoted at Newsweek. 

Who's doing the "allowing"? All 100 Senators were elected in their state and each holds 1/100 of the power. It's not 2 against 48 but 52 against 48. There's no "allowing" going on, just an accumulation of total votes. The 2 are most certainly allowed to vote the way they choose, representing their state, and it's offensive to speak of not allowing them. 

Speaking of Sanders, here's something from Axios: 

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) withheld support for a joint statement condemning last weekend's protests against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) because it also wouldn't include a rebuke of her political views, Axios has learned.....

An email exchange between Senate Democratic leadership aides, obtained by Axios, reveals Sanders withheld his name from a joint statement declaring protesters who followed Sinema into a bathroom — and filmed her while using the restroom — as "plainly inappropriate and unacceptable."

Was Sinema filmed using the toilet? I thought she'd retreated into the space to get away, but find it hard to believe she'd use the toilet under this pressure, unless she had a physical emergency. I realize it is possible in most public bathrooms for someone outside the stall to hold a camera over/under the wall/door of the stall and photograph a person inside. Did that happen to Sinema?

Back to Axios:

Sanders' communications director Mike Casca asked that the statement be edited to include the preface, "While we hope Senator Sinema will change her position on prescription drug reform and support a major [budget] reconciliation bill, ..." An aide to Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who organized the statement, said Booker would not accept the edits.

Good for Booker! 

Casca later replied: "Sanders will not be signing, so please cut 'Senate Democratic Leadership Team' from headline."... The statement has not been published. It's currently unclear whether it will run....

On Monday, Biden told reporters he didn't think the protesters' tactics were "appropriate," then added, "but it happens to everybody." The president went on to say, "The only people it doesn’t happen to are people who have Secret Service standing around them. So, it’s part of the process."

Wow. It's just the rough and tumble of politics! Nice way to insinuate that maybe women don't belong in politics. I'd say even if it "happens to everybody," it wouldn't be right to slough it off as "part of the process."
