Clinton ‘Absolutely’ Stands by Claim ‘Nobody Likes’ Sanders, Says 2020 Dem and His Supporters Are ‘Ruthless’

When it comes to her harsh words for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is standing by them.

Clinton sparked controversy when it was revealed earlier this week that in an upcoming documentary, “Hillary,” she claimed that “nobody likes” 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,” Clinton says in the documentary, adding, “He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”

She then told The Hollywood Reporter that her view of the Vermont senator still stands.

Clinton hasn’t backed down on her comments as she also told the Los Angeles Times last week she “absolutely” stands by her remarks about Sanders, as the Times published the interview on Wednesday.

“It wasn’t just him, it was his major supporters, his online advocates,” she said of Sanders and his supporters, adding, “They were relentless, ruthless, in not just attacking me but people who supported me.”

“Some of the groups of women that formed, like Pantsuit Nation, to support me during the campaign were so barraged with vile attacks that they made themselves private groups. There was just something about what he not only motivated but accepted in how he talked about me, and how he allowed others to talk about me, that I found deeply offensive. And he seems to turn a blind eye, to approve, the same kind of behavior with respect to how other candidates, particularly women candidates, are being treated online by his rabid followers.”
