Hillary Clinton Slams Bernie Sanders & Reveals How She Really Feels About Him

Hillary Clinton is on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s latest issue, and she’s revealing her true feelings about Bernie Sanders.

If you don’t know, the two politicians ran against each other for the Democratic nomination in 2016. Here’s what the former Secretary of State had to share…

On her thoughts on Senator Sanders: “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”

On whether she’d endorse Sanders if he gets the Democratic nomination: “I’m not going to go there yet. We’re still in a very vigorous primary season. I will say, however, that it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women. And I really hope people are paying attention to that because it should be worrisome that he has permitted this culture — not only permitted, [he] seems to really be very much supporting it.”

On Sanders allegedly telling Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2018 that he didn’t think a woman could win [which he denies]: “Well, number one, I think [that idea] is untrue, which we should all say loudly. I mean, I did get more votes both in the primary, by about 4 million, and in the general election, by about 3 million. I think that both the press and the public have to really hold everybody running accountable for what they say and what their campaign says and does…Then this argument about whether or not or when he did or didn’t say that a woman couldn’t be elected, it’s part of a pattern. If it were a oneoff, you might say, ‘OK, fine.’ But he said I was unqualified. I had a lot more experience than he did, and got a lot more done than he had, but that was his attack on me. I just think people need to pay attention because we want, hopefully, to elect a president who’s going to try to bring us together, and not either turn a blind eye, or actually reward the kind of insulting, attacking, demeaning, degrading behavior that we’ve seen from this current administration.”
