Sanders did not say Hillary was unquallified... [View all]

Let's apply the Clinton standard to his words: He said "if she is...taking tens of millions of dollars...if you (See nothing about Hillary here) get 15 million doalrs from Wall Street...if you have voted for a disastrous war in Iraq." See: he didn't say she had done any of those things, he just said *if* she had that would disquallify her. He left for the audience to decide whether she had actually done them <sarcasm>.


“Now the other day, I think, Secretary Clinton appeared to be getting a little bit nervous, and she has been saying lately that she thinks that I am, quote-unquote not qualified to be president,” Sanders told the crowd at Temple University. “Well let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton, I don’t believe that she is qualified if she is — through her Super PAC — taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds. I don’t think that you are qualified if you get 15 million dollars from Wall Street through your Super PAC. I don’t think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in Iraq. I don’t think you are qualified if you’ve supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement, which has cost us millions of decent paying jobs.”
