President Trump sided with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Tuesday night, telling a crowd in Milwaukee he doesn't believe Sanders said a woman couldn't win the presidency in 2020.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) confirmed to CNN that Sanders made the comment during a 2018 private meeting. Sanders has denied making the remark, and Trump backed him up during his campaign rally. It wasn't much of a surprise that he weighed in and sided with Sanders, as Trump regularly mocks Warren and did so again at his rally.
