Bernie Sanders Ridicules Hillary’s New Book: ‘Does Anyone Really Believe’ I Stole Her Ideas? (Mediaite)

As the great Democrat civil war wages on, the party’s two most popular candidates from the 2016 election are still busy taking shots at each other.

While Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders appeared on MSNBC, All Inhost Chris Hayes read a passage from Hillary Clinton‘s new book in which she claims her primary opponent borrowed her policy ideas, then proceeded to make them “even bigger, loftier, and leftier — regardless of whether it was realistic or not.”

He responded to this passage with ridicule and mockery, implying Clinton’s assertion was absurd:

“‘Bernie Sanders just stole all of Hillary Clinton’s ideas!’ Does anyone really believe that? The truth is, the real story is that the ideas we brought forth during that campaign, which was so ‘crazy and radical,’ have increasingly become mainstream. I talked about a $15 an hour minimum wage — Hillary did not. We’ve got 31 co-sponsors for $15 an hour minimum wage. We talked about a trillion-dollar infrastructure. We talked about making health care a right of all people through Medicare for all. It is becoming mainstream within the Democratic Party.”
