(52,218 posts)I think he meant exactly what he said, that he was sick of hearing about it. He later confirmed that he thought Hillary's emails were a "very serious issue," and worse, that "there was a legal process taking place." And then in the same breath, had the gall to say he was not politicizing it and that I am not going to attack Hillary Clinton, The American people will have to make that judgment. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-emails_us_56ae254be4b077d4fe8e7023
Thus he legitimized the GOP talking points on the Clinton emails that Hillary broke the law by having a private server and that there was a criminal investigation of Hillary taking place because of it, neither of which were true.
I believe he was trying to say at that debate what many of his supporters said, that her emails and other "scandals" were Clinton baggage that they were sick of, and was one of the reasons they did not support Hillary. I think that Bernie started to say that, but only got out the "sick of" part before he was cut off by the audience applause and Hillary saying "I agree" and shaking his hand. He knew he would have been a heel at that point to finish his thought and say "but the emails are a very serious issue." He did finish his thought later, as that Huffpo link shows.
