Page Six host Cindy Adams has shared her off-record conversation with former US state secretary and former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who specifically lashed out at Bernie Sanders and had “no good words” for the Democratic presidential candidate.
Adams quoted Clinton as saying that if anyone overtakes Sanders in “a district considered his, he’ll burn the place down”.
