Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders fires back at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over comments made in her new book.
Sanders appeared in an interview Thursday, and was asked to comment on an excerpt from the book which talked about why she lost the presidential election.
Clinton claims Senator Sanders pitched bigger and wilder ideas than what she based her campaign on, saying his policies were “the same — just quicker.”
“The truth is, and the real story is that the ideas we brought forth during that campaign, which were so crazy and and so radical, have increasingly become mainstream,” said Sanders, “I talked about a $15 an hour minimum wage, Hillary did not.”
Critics of her new book said Clinton is essentially blaming Sanders, as well as other political figures, for her unsuccessful campaign for president.
