Jane Sanders said that the Clinton campaign has moved to another level of “undermining” her husband.

“The Clinton campaign has been a lot more undermining than we had ever seen before," the wife of Vermont senator Bernie Sanders told SiriusXM’s Julie Mason on Monday.

“What do you mean by that?” Mason asked.

“Right after Wisconsin, when he won the eighth out of nine contests – primaries and caucuses – he was getting so much momentum that immediately we heard … the new strategy would be disqualify, defeat, and worry about uniting the party later,” Sanders said, referencing a CNN article that the Clinton campaign has disputed. “Because they had been careful. They know Bernie has brought so many people into the process they didn’t want to turn them off.”

Sanders said that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been “saying very negative things about him” and said there was “a lot of misrepresentation and distortion of his record” during the debate.

"But he hasn’t fought dirty," she said. “He’s defended himself and made it really clear when she was distorting the record."
