Sanders Hits Clinton: I Wasn’t the One that Ran Against Obama

‘It was Bill Clinton has been on the campaign trail making very nasty comments about me’

[clip starts]
SANDERS: “There is one of the two Democratic candidates here who actually ran against Barack Obama, it wasn’t me.”
TODD: “All right.”
(...) 
SANDERS: “Overall, I think the president has done an outstanding job.”
TODD: “Very quickly. An another Democratic president — this happened earlier today on your plane during a quick press gaggle, you were pretty tough on Bill Clinton’s record and you said you hit his record on Wall Street, you said this was a guy who wanted to deregulate Wall Street, was for the welfare reform, the Welfare Reform Act that you didn’t like and got NAFTA through. It didn’t sound like a presidency that you were very pleased with.”
SANDERS: “Well, let me just again, I was asked to comment on Bill Clinton’s very, very strong criticism of me. Chuck put into a context. It wasn’t that I went around attacking Bill Clinton.”
TODD: “Totally understand it.”
SANDRES: “It was Bill Clinton has been on the campaign trail making some very nasty comments about me. And I was asked about that. So, I happen to think Bill Clinton did a pretty good job as president.”
