Hillary Clinton says “nobody likes Bernie” in new interview

Hillary Clinton Bernie Sanders

Clinton has spoken out against Bernie Sanders, who plans on running in the 2020 US presidential election.

A new documentary that will center around Hillary Clinton will soon be released on Hulu.

It will see the former First Lady open up about the Monica Lewinsky controversy, her marriage to Bill Clinton, whether a woman can win the American presidency, and Bernie Sanders.

And by the sounds of it, she’s not the biggest fan of Sanders.

In one scene in the documentary, Clinton says of 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.”

When asked in an interview by The Hollywood Reporter whether she stood by her comments, she said: “Yes.”

Clinton then seemingly doubled down on her comments about the presidential hopeful, saying that she is unsure whether he would get her endorsement if he is chosen as the nominee.

“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.”

Paddy Power currently have Bernie Sanders at 5/2 to be the Democratic Candidate for 2020, which would make him the second most likely candidate after Joe Biden.
