Ex-Sanders staffer calls Biden accuser Lucy Flores a 'fraud' and 'racist' on 'Fox & Friends'

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/437116-ex-sanders-staffer-calls-bi...

A former staffer with Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) Our Revolution organization took aim at former Nevada state Assemblywoman Lucy Flores on Wednesday.

In an interview with "Fox & Friends," a former staffer focused on racial justice with Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign called Flores a "racist" and asserted that Flores had retaliated against her for comments she made about immigration.

“You know, Vice President Joe Biden, if you are listening, you should know that Lucy Flores is a fraud,” Tezlyn Figaro, who worked with Flores at Our Revolution, told Fox News.

"I worked with her when I was with Our Revolution, and I currently have a [Equal Opportunity Commission] claim ... filed against Our Revolution, naming Lucy Flores as someone who was racist, as someone who implemented retaliation," Figaro added.

"She has a long list, a long history of her picking the perfect time ... and speaking up on these issues," she added. "The difference between me and Lucy is, I spoke up immediately and took legal action, and she waited five years."

I don't get Flores' angle on

I don't get Flores' angle on this whole thing. Ok, so Biden is creepy. I think everyone can agree on that. He's touchy feely in all the wrong ways. However, his actions, as have been accused so far, do not constant abuse or harassment. Therefore, why the hell did she speak out? She's on the same side of the field as him, why try to bomb him like this? It's weird, isn't it? I'm not saying her complaint isn't legitimate, just that it's small fries considering the big picture. Sure makes it look like she's being influenced by other factors. At least, to me it does...
