Nonagenarian FDR voter: "I’m for Bernie because he’s the only person in this election you can trust"
Another voter, 96-year-old Jean Matthews, said she first voted in a presidential election for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and that she now supports Sanders. She admitted, however, that she does not expect him to win the nomination, and that she does not intend to vote for Clinton in the general election.
“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders because he’s the only person in this election you can trust,” she said. “Hillary lies all the time. She lies about any stuff that can make her look good. She stands for the status quo.”
“I’m for a revolution,” the nonagenarian continued, adding that she would likely vote for the Green Party should Clinton secure the nomination. “My son says I vote my principles. I don’t care. Principles, not personality. Hillary is a totally unprincipled person. I’ll just be sick if she gets it. I’m sitting here with a bunch of Hillary people. I don’t want to be around them.”
A man called Gregory raised eyebrows when, arguing on behalf of Clinton, he suggested that men are not up to the task of governing. “It’s a clearly stated, scientifically proven [fact] that men can’t multitask,” he said.
As the votes came in in Washington, Sanders took precinct after precinct – some by margins of 10 to one or more, others with a slim majority.

A Hillary supporter being openly sexist? I'm sure that Joy Reid and the Clinton News Network will be all over this breaking story. Bernie Bros indeed!
Very good reporting by The Guardian, independent media!
