On Tuesday, the Hollywood Reporter published a piece featuring failed Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, where she viciously bashed former competitor and current presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), saying “nobody likes him.”
She said, “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”
When asked if she would support him if he gets the 2020 Democrat nomination, Clinton said this, “I’m not going to go there yet. We’re still in a very vigorous primary season. I will say, however, that it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women. And I really hope people are paying attention to that because it should be worrisome that he has permitted this culture — not only permitted, [he] seems to really be very much supporting it. And I don’t think we want to go down that road again where you campaign by insult and attack and maybe you try to get some distance from it, but you either don’t know what your campaign and supporters are doing or you’re just giving them a wink and you want them to go after Kamala [Harris] or after Elizabeth [Warren]. I think that that’s a pattern that people should take into account when they make their decisions.”
In 2016, despite Sanders’ endorsement of Clinton, she claimed his supporters were nothing but “basement dwellers.”
Clinton’s toxicity appears to be getting worse and worse, and it is clear that her willingness to attack fellow Democrats shows exactly why she lost in 2016.
