Sanders, Clinton trade shots on Twitter

The exchange began when Sanders tweeted out a video of him speaking with reporters and one asks him if he thinks Clinton is a progressive.

 

“Some days, yes,” the Vermont senator responds. “Except when she announces that she is a proud moderate, and then I guess she is not a progressive.”

Q. Do you think @HillaryClinton is a progressive?
A. Some days, yes. Other days she announces she is a moderate.https://t.co/kIdhjzXZDs

Clinton responded with a video of her own on Twitter that showed her at a rally touting her progressive achievements.

 

“It was kind of a low blow when Sen. Sanders said, in response to a question, ‘Well maybe she’s a progressive on some days,'” she said in the video.

Sanders then shot back with a chain of tweets that began with him saying, “You can be a moderate. You can be a progressive. But you cannot be a moderate and a progressive.”

You can be a moderate. You can be a progressive. But you cannot be a moderate and a progressive.

Most progressives that I know don’t raise millions of dollars from Wall Street.

Most progressives I know are firm from day 1 in opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership. They didn’t have to think about it a whole lot.

Most progressives that I know were opposed to the Keystone pipeline from day one. Honestly, it wasn’t that complicated.

Most progressives I know were against the war in Iraq. One of the worst foreign policy blunders in the history of the United States.

The exchange came hours before the two are scheduled to appear at a CNN town hall in Derry, N.H. Their campaigns have agreed to three news ones, all of which will be sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee.
