Hillary Clinton was supposed to go high, but she just slammed Senator Bernie Sanders during a Hollywood Reporter interview, agreeing that ‘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.’
Clinton’s response to the interviewer’s question was yes, she agreed with all of those descriptions of her former 2016 adversary.
Call this a political burial because Hillary brought the shovels on Bernie. She even called out those who support Bernie (also known as “Bernie Bros). Clinton claimed that the Vermont candidate supported “online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women.”

If he gets the nomination, will you endorse and campaign for him?
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. And I don’t think we want to go down that road again where you campaign by insult and attack and maybe you try to get some distance from it, but you either don’t know what your campaign and supporters are doing or you’re just giving them a wink and you want them to go after Kamala [Harris] or after Elizabeth [Warren]. I think that that’s a pattern that people should take into account when they make their decisions.
Speaking of, he allegedly told Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2018 that he didn’t think a woman could win, a statement he vigorously denies. How did you digest that?
Well, number one, I think [that sentiment] 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. That’s particularly true with what’s going on right now with the Bernie campaign having gone after Elizabeth with a very personal attack on her. 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 one-off, 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.

Remember, Bernie had way more attendees at his rallies and didn’t have the benefit of the “super delegates” that Hillary received. He didn’t want to battle Hillary or say anything bad about her during the debates. Watching her go after Sanders like this is what he gets for trusting that she would be above taking potshots at his candidacy.
Sanders, in other words, is stupid. He will allow Black Lives Matter to take over a speech event without being chastised. He allowed Hillary to steal the Democratic nomination while they gave him a cushy seat at the convention in 2016 and now this.
Most men wouldn’t allow this to happen but he did. I don’t feel sorry for Bernie either.
