Sanders hits Trump: I 'do not hate' Clinton

When it comes to Donald Trump's contention that Bernie Sanders "hates" Hillary Clinton, the Vermont senator chalked it up to Trump being Trump.

"I know, he has read my mind. What a man, what a genius," Sanders remarked sarcastically in an interview Thursday night on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes." "No, the answer is of course, Trump is lying as he always does."


He continued, explaining: "No, I do not hate Secretary Clinton. I've known her for 25 years. I have a lot of respect for her. We've worked together."

While acknowledging that the two Democratic presidential primary rivals "have disagreements on issues," saying that he hates her "is absolutely untrue."

In Bangor, Maine, on Wednesday, Trump told supporters: “I have to say one thing about Bernie — he, you know, he'll be nasty and say, 'Oh, I'd never vote for Trump,' but that's OK. I know what he thinks inside.

“He hates her. He hates her. I mean, he cannot stand her."
