Speaking at a town hall-style interview on The Today Show Friday morning, Sen. Bernie Sanders walked back his comments Thursday that Hillary Clinton was “not qualified” to be president.

Asked if the former secretary of state was qualified, Sanders replied, “Of course.” He added: “I hope that we get away from these attacks, which by the way, the media likes very much and start focusing … on the real issues.”

Sanders seems to be on something of a minor apology tour after the unusually rancorous tone he struck with his fellow candidate lately.

“On her worst day, she would be an infinitely better president than either of the Republican candidates,” he said on Today, echoing remarks he had made on late night television the previous night.

5. It's the media's fault!

Like everything else, it's never, ever Sanders' fault.

4. Apparently there is no connection between what he says and what he believes.

6. I find it very interesting...

When BS made that gaff it really set in motion a shit-storm at his candidacy.

IMHO, HRC has got this.
