Sanders Mocks Hillary’s Book Tour: ‘We Have To Go Forwards, Not Backwards’

‘I worked as hard as I could to see that Hillary Clinton would be elected president’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

TODD: "Let me ask you. As you know your former primary rival Hillary Clinton is on a book tour. He she wrote a lot about you in this book. I just want to play one quick excerpt and get you do respond on the other side."
[START CLIP]
HILLARY: "Arguing with my supporters at the Denver convention in 2008 about why they had to quit complaining that I didn't win and get out and support Barack Obama. And I didn't get that respect from him and his supporters."
[END CLIP]
TODD: "As you know you have probably seen some excerpts of the book. I don't know if you fully read it yet. But this is a consistent theme. She claims you didn't work hard enough to bring your supporters to the polls the way she did in '508. And if anything your supporters may have undermined her candidacy and the general election. Do you support that criticism?
SANDERS: "Wow. No I really don't. And right now we're focus tong infrastructure and high cost of the prescription drugs. I think we have to go forwards. Not backwards. Let me say this. I worked as hard as I could. I went all over this country after endorsing Hillary Clinton. And I would remind people. Not everybody who voted for Bernie ended up voting for the Hillary. No kidding. That's what happens in the politics. That is the nature of politics. Most people are not rigidly Democrats or Republicans. They vote where they want. I worked as hard as I could to see that Hillary Clinton would be elected president."
