Excerpt:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Thursday hit back at Hillary Clinton's comments about him in her upcoming book about the 2016 presidential election, asking if anyone actually believed them.
"I.e., Bernie Sanders just stole all of Hillary Clinton's ideas. Does anybody really believe that?" Sanders said on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes" after host Chris Hayes read excerpts from Clinton's forthcoming book "What Happened."
"The truth is and really story is that the ideas that we brought forth during that campaign, which was so crazy and so radical, have increasingly become mainstream," Sanders continued, citing proposals such as a $15 minimum wage, $1 trillion infrastructure program, tuition free college and "Medicare for all."
Sanders was responding to an excerpt of the book where Clinton writes that her policy adviser Jake Sullivan aide compared Sanders' policy ideas to a scene from "Something About Mary" where a hitch hiker rolls out a plan to make seven-minute abs to top eight-minute abs.
