While speaking at a D.C. bookstore, former Green Party presidential candidate and consumer advocate Ralph Nader criticized Hillary Clinton for not being the same person she was “at 30 years old,” also calling her a “corporatist” and “militarist.”

“I think Hillary is not the Hillary of when she was 30 years old,” he told his listeners. “She made peace with the power structure and she is a deep corporatist and a deep militarist. One can almost forgive the corporatism. She moved to New York with Bill because that’s where the power is and Wall Street, but her militarism is absolutely shocking.”

Nader also took to criticizing her decisions as Secretary of State, particularly regarding the War in Libya.

“She almost singlehandedly did the uh, Libyan War. The Defense Department was against it, [Robert] Gates; She persuaded the White House that it was an easy topple without knowing that in a tribal society with nothing to replace it you would have a civil war, sectarian killings spilling into Africa, weapons everywhere, Mali, central Africa and she’s being accused of Benghazi. The big thing is the huge amount of geography that has been destabilized because of the Libyan overthrow.”
