On This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Clinton campaign manager John Podesta fires back at Bernie Sanders for demanding an apology from Bill Clinton over the 1994 crime sentencing reform bill he signed.

"I think the president got a little hot," he said about Bill Clinton's confrontation with protesters about the subject this week. "[But Bernie Sanders] voted for this bill. He doesn’t regret it. He, in 2006, he campaigned for the Senate, saying I’m tough on crime."
