A new political ad contrasting Hillary Clinton’s statements from 2008 and her daughter’s statements from this year about Bernie Sanders is shining a spotlight on Ms. Clinton’s blatant hypocrisy on healthcare.

In 2008, Mrs. Clinton attacked then-Senator Barack Obama for criticizing her for her stances on healthcare. According to Mrs. Clinton, people who criticize Democrats over healthcare are using a page out of Republicans’ playbook:



Obama’s actions were “reminiscent of the same sort of Republican attacks on Democrats,” Mrs. Clinton said. “Since when do Democrats attack one another on universal healthcare?” she demanded to know.

It then shows Mrs. Clinton demand to know, “Since when do Democrats attack one another on universal healthcare?” and then shows Chelsea attacking Mr. Sanders over universal healthcare.
