Facing tight race, Hillary Clinton questions Bernie Sanders' party ties
Fighting for a victory just days before Nevada's caucuses, Hillary Clinton took one of her toughest shots at rival Bernie Sanders, questioning the long-time independent's devotion to the Democratic Party he's running to lead.
Clinton accused Sanders of attacking the two most recent Democratic presidents — President Barack Obama and her husband, former President Bill Clinton — both of whom remain popular political figures among Democratic voters.
"I just don't know where all this comes from," she said, at a televised town hall meeting hosted by MSNBC in Las Vegas on Thursday night. "Maybe it's that Sen. Sanders wasn't really a Democrat until he decided to run for office."
"Well, it's true. It's true," she exclaimed, amid a sprinkling of boos from the audience.
Speaking to reporters on his campaign plane on Thursday afternoon, Sanders described some of President Bill Clinton's biggest achievements, the NAFTA trade agreement and welfare overhaul, as "disastrous." A few hours later, during his separate appearance at the town hall meeting, he said that his critique was prompted by a question from a reporter and that a member of Congress can disagree with a president from his own party.
