After pushing back against Hillary Clinton‘s claim about his support for her in 2016, Bernie Sanders criticized the Democratic party at large on Meet the Press this morning.

Clinton has made a point of saying that Sanders is not a Democrat and doesn’t even ID as one.

Sanders told Chuck Todd, “The current model of the Democratic party obviously is not working. Republicans control the House, the Senate, they control the White House, they control two-thirds of the governors’ offices.”

He said Democrats should do more to reach out to independents.

Sanders fires back: 'I worked as hard as I could' to elect Clinton

BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 09/17/17 11:03 AM EDT

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday pushed back on criticism from former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, arguing that he worked as hard as he could to help her win the White House.

“I worked as hard as I could to see that Hillary Clinton would be elected president,” Sanders told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Sanders said that it is “the nature of politics” that some of his supporters declined to support Clinton in the general election. “That’s what happens in politics,” he said.

Clinton, whose book “What Happened” about her election loss came out last week, has blamed Sanders for inflicting “lasting damage” on her campaign.
