Andrea Mitchell had asked Bernie Sanders about his response to a question about Bill Clinton's infidelities, in which he responded that they were "totally disgraceful, and unacceptable."This was his response:
"That question annoys me," Sanders said.
Sanders complained that the media put too much pressure on him to attack the former secretary of state.
"I can't walk down the street — Secretary Clinton knows this — without being told how much I have to attack Secretary Clinton. Want me to get on the front page of the paper? I make some vicious attack. I have avoided doing that, trying to run an issue-oriented campaign."
"You didn't have to answer it that way, though," Mitchell said, referring to Sanders answer about Bill Clinton's indiscretions.
"Then if I don't answer it, that's another front-page story," Sanders responded.
He added: "His behavior was deplorable. Have I ever said one word about that issue? No I have not. I'm going to debate Secretary Clinton and Governor O'Malley on the issues facing the American people, not Bill Clinton's behavior."
I think my favorite part of his response was Hillary nodding her head in agreement to everything he said.
Yes, we know that Bill did a bad thing.
We also know that it was over twenty years ago and everybody else has moved on.
Well everybody except for the conservatives who are desperate to use it as an attack against Hillary that is.
