Former Bernie Staffer to Fox & Friends: ‘Lucy Flores is a Fraud’ and ‘Racist’

Former Bernie Sanders campaign staffer Tezlyn Figaro appeared on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning and made some news when she plainly called Lucy Flores a
“fraud.” Flores is the former Nevada State Assemblywoman who wrote an essay that appeared last week in The Cut that alleged that Joe Biden made her feel uncomfortable with his public display of affection, a story which launched numerous other reports of Biden’s touchy-feely-ness with several women.

“You know, vice president Joe Biden, if you are listening,  you should know that Lucy Flores is a fraud,” Figaro claimed before sharing that she worked alongside Flores at Sanders’ political group Our Revolution where Flores sat on the board. Figaro parted ways with One Revolution last year after the Sanders campaign took issue with some immigration comments she made on Fox & Friends.

She then noted that she filed EOC complaint describing Flores as “someone who was racist, who also implemented retaliation. She told me that if I didn’t do what she told me to do that I would suffer the consequences,” adding that she had “legal documentation” behind this claim. Flores “has a long list, a long history of her picking the perfect timing quote, unquote on speaking on these issues,” Figaro added, noting that she “spoke up immediately and took legal action” and Flores “waited for five years.”

With the 2020 presidential primary election just getting started, many have openly wondered if these allegations against Joe Biden might be part of an opposition campaign by a fellow Democratic candidate. Biden has not officially entered the race, but recent polls suggest he and Sanders are front-runners in the race for the nomination.
