ICHEOKU says when one thought that the rift between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in 2008 was just too much, it appears that the mother of all rifts is finally here, between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. A matter which has now grown impetus by the publicly refusal of Elizabeth Warren to shake the extended hand of fellowship and friendship of Bernie Sanders.
Why she took such a stand publicly, concluded that Bernie, by necessary implication of not admitting to what she alleged, called her a liar and therefore not worthy of her handshake is indeed mind boggling. Why did she take it so personal as to now create enmity between them, afterall politics is supposed to be without bitterness. So what if Bernie denied her accusation or was she expecting a confession from a political rival who also wants the same presidential ticket which she wants.
It was a she said and he said situation, recalling what was allegedly said in a private setting, without any third party witness present or any additional collaborating evidence to back it up. Yet she wants everyone to believe her side of the story simply because she is a woman because women ought to be believed; admitted Elizabeth Warren herself is a woman and she was lied about being Indian, yet women ought to be believed. If she lied then, is it possible that she is lying again now by wrongly accusing Bernie of what she has no way of collaborating.
But just believe women, a misplaced position which flies in the face of a plethora of catalogue of incidences of women misleading everyone and in fact lying their way to their preconceived destinations. It is nothing new as it began with Adam and Eve, then enter Samson and Delilah, Lord Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and of course Elizabeth Warren, yet women should be believed? ICHEOKU says do so at your own risk; as trust but first verify is always the survival move.
By going up against Bernie Sanders, she has damaged the progressive wing of the Democratic Party as Bernie's faction and her faction will never see eye to eye again. The bond of trust has been broken and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez will never forget and might move to Massachusetts to primary her next time she is up for election.
ICHEOKU says it does not matter how any partisan chooses to dice and dissect the narrative, the basic lesson is that politics is supposed to be without bitterness; and like sports, parties meet and greet after any contentious outing, especially members of the same political party. ICHEOKU says does not know if it is the women's thing or that some politicians take politics too personally, as if they are entitled to a position which they occupy or an office which they seek as of right.
It started with Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton in 2008 who could not believe that a young black man could trounce her in a presidential election primaries and it took a lot of goading before she agreed to endorse Barack Obama's candidacy. It took several interventions before the animosity she created against Barack Obama could be resolved; including by the Deep State which promised her the presidency in 2016, the reason she is still protesting her defeat by President Donald John Trump till date.
What type of moral example are these women showing to the young and easily impressionable, up and coming, politicians by their bitterness. In Georgia, another woman, Stacy Adams, lost the governorship election, but instead of moving on, she, like Hillary Clinton, is still protesting, insisting that her electoral victory was denied her when the governor "stole" her mandate.
It seems to be a trait common among the Democrats as Al Gore was headed that way until reason prevailed and he pulled back. This has nothing to do with partisanship or misogyny; but truth be told, statistics shows that most protested elections are by women and the Democratic Party.
It is the same mad desire to win by whatever means possible that led to Donna Brazile stealing questions from CNN and feeding them to Hillary Clinton ahead of time in her debates with Bernie Sanders. We all knew the role Deborah Wassermann Schultz, then Democratic Party chairwoman, played in rigging the primaries against Bernie Sanders, had the DNC computers destroyed and refused the FBI access to them just to hide her criminal behavior.
There are just too many of such cases to go on, but American people can end this feeling of entitlement by these politicians who cling to power by demanding term limits in Washington DC today. Such a limited cameo in Congress will discourage the stupidity of power addiction and with it the attendant corruption, which lures politicians into personalizing public offices, such that most of them die in Washington DC, the only way they ever get to relinquish the position or separated from their office.
What if old grandpa Bernie Sanders did not recall telling Elizabeth Warren that women cannot win the presidency. What if Elizabeth Warren made up the story, afterall she had made up so many stories in the past. It was her word against Bernie's as there were no witnesses or other participants in the alleged meeting; begging the question, why does Elizabeth Warren want Bernie Sanders to drink from the poisoned chalice by admitting to her allegation, fully aware of the ramifications of such admission; especially in this ME TOO era where women are out to draw blood.
It is akin to pointing a .45 on Bernie's head and ordering him to either sign his withdrawal from the race or his grey-matter will be spilled on the paper. If Elizabeth Warren did not have bad intentions, why did she leak an alleged private communication between her and Bernie? If the shoes were on her feet, would she admit to such a bombshell hit job allegation.
ICHEOKU says desperation could not be better defined; here is a progressive Elizabeth Warren who could not manage her early rise in the polls and is now trailing behind her fellow progressive Bernie Sanders, Instead of working off the kinks in her staggering campaign, decided to attack her progressive rival by throwing dirt him. But while her lead lasted, old man Sanders never tried to hurt her campaign in any way; but worked tirelessly so hard despite his heart condition to get where he is now.
Why does Elizabeth Warren think that she can do what Hillary Clinton was unable to do; if she is the it of womanhood and has the secret sauce, why did Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, a woman, reject her candidacy by endorsing a man, Bernie Sanders? Should we believe Alexandria Ocasio Cortez that Elizabeth Warren is not the ONE, the reason she is not supporting her; otherwise why are all the progressive women not lining up behind Elizabeth Warren. There must be something they know which American people already know themselves which makes the candidacy of Elizabeth Warren toxic and unacceptable.
Anyway, ICHEOKU is glad that Bernie handled the situation like a matured person by not engaging Elizabeth in her game of the mud. Except for President Donald John Trump, no man ever wins a fight with a woman and if Bernie had tried, he would have been rudely shocked as Elizabeth came prepared to fight dirty. She said that Bernie called her a liar on national television by not admitting to her accusation. What if it was Elizabeth Warren who called Bernie a liar by falsely accusing him and expecting him to just fold up, as s guilty conscience would? By then saying that he did not say it, appears to be lying.
Yet this is a woman who said that she will unite her party and by extension America, but holds grudge. You wonder how can she do unite people when she holds such bitterness and rudely left Bernie's outstretched hands hanging, refusing to shake him with millions of people watching her attempted humiliation of Bernie, admitted she ended up exposing herself as a very rude mean gal. Elizabeth Warren was rude, impolite and mean spirited by refusing to shake Bernie's extended hand of fellowship and friendship. Whatever was said or not said and/or denied, by extending his hand, Bernie has put it all behind him and wanted to move on past it, in the spirit of sportsmanship which politics is all about.
Politics is supposed to be without bitterness, but Elizabeth was bitter, angry and rude beyond pale that she now looks like a desperado who would rather destroy the progressive wing of the Democratic Party than see Bernie clinch the nomination. She does not have to be the ONE and there is nothing in the Constitution that stipulates that a woman has to be president either. If she wants her so badly, then let her work so badly to secure it, but all these hit job made up stories ain't gonna cut it.
But in any event, even if Bernie called her a liar, whats the big deal; afterall she has been severally called a liar by so many people including the president because she lies. For instance, did Elizabeth Warren tell the truth when she claimed to be an Indian? So what's all the fuss about that Bernie added his voice to the truth by calling Elizabeth Warren a liar. ICHEOKU says Elizabeth Warren is a liar, so now what?

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
