Clinton: Sanders Wasn’t Really a Democrat Until He Ran for President

BRZEZINSKI: “Welcome back, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were both in Las Vegas last night for a town hall hosted by MSNBC and Telemundo. Earlier in the day, when asked about Bill Clinton’s recent comments comparing his surge to the rise of the Tea Party Senator Sanders went right after the former president on everything from Wall Street reform to welfare reform to trade.

CLINTON: “Well, he was the president who created 23 million jobs, who raised incomes for every group in America, not just those at the top. (...) So, you know, I know that Senator Sanders has also attacked President Obama — he’s called him weak, he’s called him disappointing, he tried to get somebody to run against him in the 2012 election in the primary. And, you know, I just don’t know where all this comes from, because maybe it’s that Senator Sanders wasn’t really a Democrat until he decided to run for president. He doesn’t even know what the — (Applause) — You know, last two Democratic presidents did. And I — (Booing) — you know — well, it’s true. It’s true. You know it’s true. (Booing) I mean, it happens to be true and I’ve got to tell you, I look at our last two Democratic presidents, were they perfect? No, no person is. But I’ll tell you what, I would take two of them over any Republican anytime anywhere.”
