The Pinocchio Test
Sanders is putting words in Clintons mouth. She never said quote unquote that he was not qualified to be president. In fact, she diplomatically went out of her way to avoid saying that, without at the same time saying he was qualified. The Washington Post article appropriately noted that she raised questions about his qualifications, but certainly never said or suggested she said Sanders was unqualified.
Sanders would have been on safer ground if he had said Clinton is raising questions about his qualifications and now he would like to raise questions about her qualifications. But he cant slam her for words she did not say.

Of course she did. She used weasel words like weasels tend to do. She's unfit for public office

I don't care what Hillary said. Bernie finally spoke the truth many of us already know.

If it comes from "journalist" Steve Leser & The Capehart Gazette, I'm not buying.
