Sanders, Clinton continue ‘progressive’ spat

DERRY, NH (AP) — At the televised forum hosted by CNN in Derry Wednesday night, Sanders listed a series of issues where he said Clinton was out of step with liberals in the Democratic party, including trade, Wall Street regulation, climate change and the 2002 authorization of the war in Iraq.

Sanders says: “I do not know any progressive who has a super PAC and takes $15 million dollars from Wall Street. That’s just not progressive.”

Clinton is pushing back, saying she was “amused today that Senator Sanders has set himself up to be the gatekeeper on who’s a progressive.”

She added: “I know where I stand. I know who stands with me. I know what I’ve done.”
