Former US first lady and ex-presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has once again slammed the campaign of Bernie Sanders, her rival for the Democratic Party nomination in the last US presidential election.
During an interview on Good Morning America, when asked whether she stands by the opinion she expressed in her Hulu documentary – namely, saying that Bernie’s campaign is “just baloney” – Hillary said that her opinion has not changed since.
"That was my authentic opinion then, it’s my authentic opinion now", she declared.

In the four-part docuseries, filmed before the 2020 primary season and set to be released on 6 March, Hillary said that nobody "nobody" liked Sanders, and that he “got nothing done”, according to Fox News.
"He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it," she said as quoted by the media outlet.
Hillary’s remark elicited a somewhat mixed reaction online as there seemed to be no shortage of netizens eager to give the ex-FLOTUS a piece of their mind.

Yet there were also those who praised her and expressed their desire to watch the documentary in question when it gets released.
Right as usual. Ignore her warnings again and we will deserve the four more years of Trump we'll most assuredly get.
