Then she should say that.

She also knows that when she goes after him some of his supporters will push back.
When was that ever denied? Frankly, I'm delighted and grateful that she's speaking out and shining a light on her views that Bernie wouldn't be an effective leader. It's perfectly valid to point out that he was silent and absent during the crucial few weeks after the convention where he could have made a difference in soothing the tensions and hurt feelings among his supporters. By not saying anything, they were left to wallow in their own self-pity and their feelings of resentment and desire for revenge grew and grew. How could he not know what was going on around him? How could he be totally unaware? Either he didn't know, or he didn't care... whichever one it is, it's not at all flattering about his ability to rise to the occasion and to be a real leader.
All I'm saying is, that Hillary has the right (and is right) in bringing this up now, because it's a "forgotten" and little discussed aspect about what happened after the convention... and every indicator suggests that we're in for a repeat. Forewarned is forearmed.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Hillary Clinton is a private citizen. Tlaib represents her district AND Democrats in Congress.

Tlaib already did issue an apology. The only apology we need now is from Hillary.

Yes, he did 39 events for her. But even that doesn't stop Bernie-haters from hating.

Bernie's crew needs to ignore Hillary and focus on defeating 45. No need to rehash 2016.

Why hasn't HRC "faded into the background"? Probably because people don't want her to.
