Clinton also weighed in on
the dispute between Sanders and 2020 Democratic presidential rival Elizabeth
Warren centering around the electability of women, saying Sanders demonstrated
“a pattern” in how his campaign attacked women rivals.
Hillary Clinton criticized
the campaign of her former Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders in a
new documentary in which she says he was an ineffective U.S. senator who
accomplished little because “nobody liked him.”
The criticism, made in a
Hulu documentary to be shown at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday and an
interview promoting it, revealed lingering bitterness toward Sanders after he
mounted an unexpected Democratic primary challenge to Clinton in 2016. Clinton
backers blame Sanders’ supporters for tarnishing her with vitriolic criticism
that helped put Republican Donald Trump in the White House.
“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,” Clinton says in the documentary,
according to the Hollywood Reporter.
