Bloomberg’s Josh Green: Clinton Will Never ‘Out-Liberal’ a Socialist Like Sanders

‘It shows how far Left the Democratic Party has moved’

SCARBOROUGH: “Josh Green, Hillary Clinton yesterday was saying that Bernie Sanders was engaging in personal attacks by accusing her of being a moderate. (Laughter) [crosstalk]
BRZEZINSKI: “That’s personal [indecipherable].”
SCARBOROUGH: “I will say that again. Hillary Clinton said yesterday that Bernie Sanders was engaging in personal attacks by calling her a moderate. On September the 10th, Hillary Clinton in an act of political self hatred called herself a moderate. (Laughter) It’s just —this is one of the fantastical thing about the Clintons that I’ve never understood. [indecipherable] about Trump gets away with things that nobody else [indecipherable] away. The Clintons have always gotten away with things that other candidates would be called out on.”
GREEN: “Well I don’t think she’s getting away with anything.” [crosstalk]

GREEN: “She got nailed on that answer and I think what it shows is how far left the Democratic Party has moved.

And yet, the big fight within the Democratic primary has been who is more liberal, who is more anti-Wall Street. It you puts Clinton in a perennially tough position.”
