The Fix
Bernie Sanders just gave an amazingly condescending interview about Hillary Clinton

By Chris Cillizza June 28 at 2:13 PM

The Democratic presidential primaries ended two weeks ago today. Bernie Sanders is still kind of, sort of running for the nomination, despite the fact he has lost -- by every possible metric -- to Hillary Clinton.

Clinton and her campaign have been generally fine with all of this, pivoting to the general election and assuming the Sanders thing would work itself out.

That approach may change after the interview Sanders gave to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday. It was by turns baffling and surreal. But, most of all, it was remarkably condescending.

WaPo: "Bernie Sanders just gave an amazingly condescending interview about Hillary Clinton"

1. Still talking down to her .... n/t

5. A very nasty, bitter interview.

59. Andrea asked if he shares the praise that Eliz Warren gave her yesterday-Sanders ignored

83. Bernie prolly has hard feelins ova the way Hillary treated him, but he must get past that & make certain that asswipe tRump gets nowhere near the White House.

129. I thought she treated him with kid gloves

137. It really doesn't matter at this point... what matters is that fuckwad tRump gets his racist ass handed to him come November.

157. She did everything but put a mint on his pillow and leave milk & cookies

224. Yes, yes she did. And he should.

144. Ha! good on Andrea for showing the clip of Elizabeth and Hillary from yesterday!

239. Here's the Video

2. As many of Hillary's supporters have noted, the Washington Post can't be trusted...

6. Do you have any evidence the Sanders was misquoted in this piece?

24. I saw the interview live. The WaPo piece is factually correct.

46. I agree with you, but you're right, people should watch it themselves

85. Always said The Washington Post is a RW trash publication.

3. bernie is no longer relevant by his own hand.

17. That made me think of something entirely different

33. stop it

48. I disagree; he's still pulling for us (nt)

67. I think the accusation is that he's tooting his own horn. nt

74. Warren is. Bernie is not

76. It was a pun, bsed on cosmicone's reponse to your post

82. that was funny. Sorry i missed it

86. You're kiddin right?

207. I haven't gotten a donation request email from him since the end of May.

91. How is "pulling a Nader" pulling for us?

223. he is pulling a nader and feels entitled

4. This part right here:

7. +1 (nt)

120. +1

128. Yeah he gives himself a ton of credit doesn't he? It's interesting that he doesn't realize she

210. He also doesn't realize that he can claim moral superiority all he wants, but his actions

218. Yeah it's like the claim he is better on choice- for having an opinion no one shares....

149. You quote the characterization of Sanders' words

158. what "great" words about Hillary did he say in this interview?

159. None because Bernie Sanders isn't a Clinton surrogate.

173. He told the damn truth

191. It is not great. You missed it. It shows his weakness.

165. I agree.

202. +1 from me, too

8. At this point, the only choice is to lock him out of the convention.

22. That should work out well for party unity.

27. At what point does his refusal to accept the party nominee...

36. Oh c'mon....

43. Oh, no, a politician is trying to leverage clout?

160. He's already formally lost. The nomination is just the medal ceremony

184. His call, of course, but he's losing clout daily.

213. Nailed it.

121. Exactly

49. No. He can not win.

60. And Hillary has not yet, by the rules, won.

62. It's inevitable.

65. That's fine.

171. Keep telling yourself that.

181. I don't need to. I'm not the one obsessed with Bernie Sanders and his daily actions/interviews.

185. Yes, and there's not enough evidence to establish Anthropogenic Climate Change.

197. I really don't understand the Bernie obsession.

88. Technically, Bernie is still in the running, but practically speaking, he needs to get behind the presumptive nominee.

175. Who says he is not accepting her as the nominee

193. This is not the way to do it. He will get no where as an outsider

221. Won't get anywhere as a sycophant, that 's for sure

29. The remaining holdouts will never come over any way

34. At least you are honest about the upcoming pivot to the right

47. It's Sanders' fault that we now have to. eom

51. That's one of the silliest things I have read in quite some time.

58. Then your sense of silly is out of kilter

101. I agree. If Hiilary cannot win over that 8%, she has to go elsewhere to moderates. It's a shame

104. Sanders does not seem to want

124. I second that. Btw - he still lists himself as an Independent on his FB page (Senator Sanders).

179. If "unity" means blind obedience and only one opinion ever allowed....

205. I don't believe I said

214. +1

9. He's just saying things he's said before, but Washington Post loves starting drama

11. He may have said these things when he was in a contest w/Clinton. But the primary's over and he lost

32. We all know he's doing political theater to get leverage over the convention.

151. Sanders' appeal is his consistency.

12. It has gotten worse since Jeff Bezos took over

37. Enquirer is better.

150. Exactly. The WaPo churns out anti-Sanders garbage. NT
