在美国公共广播公司的一次采访中射击线，摩尔向沃伦竞选的主张桑德斯告诉马萨诸塞州参议员，他不相信一个女人能在2020年击败唐纳德·特朗普总统。桑德斯否认他说女人赢不了。这位佛蒙特州参议员告诉美国有线电视新闻网:“在伊丽莎白·沃伦告诉我她要竞选总统的同一次会议上，我竟然告诉她一个女人赢不了，这太荒唐了。”。

摩尔说，他不明白沃伦的竞选团队为什么发表声明。“你甚至不能在她的声明中读到真正说了什么或者发生了什么，”他说。摩尔在2020年支持桑德斯竞选总统，他还指出，“[·桑德斯绝不会像报道的那样说话。”
摩尔还表示，当不和开始时，他觉得这是一个转折点，将导致特朗普再次当选。“说实话，那天晚上，我的第一个想法是:他们将纪念1月13日，也就是唐纳德·特朗普再次当选的那一天，”他说。“因为，民主党人、自由党人又一次无法团结起来，也无法理解[的观点]，而不是高兴地站在那里像这样互相争斗。”
摩尔还说民主党人需要为他们政党的失败负责。“我们什么时候才能学会？”他问道。“这是在我们身上。这不是俄罗斯人的事。这不是共和党的事。民主党没有采取行动，也没有动用头脑。”

MICHAEL MOORE SAYS SANDERS-WARREN FEUD IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS NOT GETTING IT TOGETHER
Filmmaker Michael Moore called recent disputes between presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren "another example of the left not getting it together."
In an interview on PBS's Firing Line, Moore addressed the Warren campaign's claim that Sanders told the Massachusetts senator he did not believe a woman could beat President Donald Trump in 2020. Sanders has denied that he said a woman could not win. "It is ludicrous to believe that at the same meeting where Elizabeth Warren told me she was going to run for president I would tell her that a woman couldn't win," the Vermont senator told CNN.
The Fahrenheit 11/9 director also called the dispute "very sad." Moore, who said he knows Warren and Sanders, used both of them in Capitalism: A Love Story, his 2009 film. Warren also appeared in Sicko, and Sanders was in Fahrenheit 11/9.
Moore said he didn't understand why Warren's campaign released the statement. "You couldn't even read in her statement what really was said or what happened," he said. Moore, who has endorsed Sanders for president in 2020, also noted that "there's no way [Sanders] said anything like the way it's been reported."
Moore also said that when the feud began, he felt it was a turning point that will lead to Trump's re-election. "To be honest, the night that happened, my first thought was: They will mark this day January 13th, as the day Donald Trump was re-elected," he said. "Because, once again the Democrats, the liberals couldn't get it together, couldn't figure [it] out, instead of so happy to get right in there and fight each other like this."
Moore also said that Democrats need to take responsibility for their party's failures. "When are we ever going to learn?" he asked. "This is on us. This is not on the Russians. It's not on the Republicans. It's on the Democratic Party for not getting its act together and not using its head."
Moore, the Sanders campaign and the Warren campaign did not immediately respond to Newsweek's requests for comment.
In another clip from the interview, host Margaret Hoover asked Moore about his 2016 essay "5 Reasons Why Trump Will Win," specifically his point that Trump's election was "the last stand of the angry white man." Moore said that people "shouldn't be frightened" of a female president.
"The country will be a better place with more women in charge, with more women running things," he said. "Look around the world, in those countries where women have more power—both political power, corporate power, all kinds of power. Things are just a little bit better. They're a little kinder."
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders speak as Tom Steyer looks on after the Democratic presidential debate on January 14.
