As if a 74 year old Socialist is anymore qualified?
Via The Hill:
Bernie Sanders on Thursday morning defended his comments that Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president.
Sanders explained at a press conference in Philadelphia that he was responding to attacks from the Clinton campaign, which he says has been trying to “disqualify” him.
“That was what was thrown at me,” he said, noting Clinton’s strategy has been described as “disqualify him, defeat him and then unify the party later.”
Sanders, however, he did seem to soften his comments some by suggesting he was merely using the same tactic that she was.
“This campaign will fight back” if attacked, he said. “This is not the type of politics that I want to get in.”
Sanders said Clinton started the fight over being qualified for the Oval Office and that he was responding in kind. He also blamed the media, which he accused of being uninterested in covering his calls to help the middle class.
