Bill Clinton unleashed his most stinging attack against Bernie Sanders yet by likening the campaign staffers’ accessing Clinton campaign voter data to “stealing a car with the keys in the ignition,” the New York Times reports.
He also slammed the inaccurate and “sexist” attacks against his wife by Sanders and his supporters. This is in the tradition of his “biggest fairy tale” comment about then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. It remains to be seen if it will have quite the same impact.
NBC News: “The former president appeared angry as he poured scorn on his wife’s opponent, portraying the Sanders campaign as dishonest and his healthcare proposals as unrealistic.”
Washington Post: “For weeks, former president Bill Clinton has been the doomsday device of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign — a mighty weapon capable of doing great good or harm to her campaign — so held in reserve until absolutely needed.”
