January 21, 2020 " Information Clearing House " - Four years since their rough Democratic primary battle, Hillary Clinton has not let up on her criticism of Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, says of Sanders in a new documentary that "nobody likes him."

"He was in Congress for years," Clinton says in the soon-to-be-released four-part Hulu documentary "Hillary," The Hollywood Reporter said in a report. "He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it."

Asked by The Hollywood Reporter in an interview released on Tuesday if her assessment still stands, Clinton said, "Yes, it does."

Clinton also criticized the "culture" around Sanders, I-Vt., as the 2020 presidential contender has had high-profile disputes with Democratic rivals such as former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in recent weeks.

And Clinton would not commit to endorsing Sanders if he becomes the Democratic nominee.

"I'm not going to go there yet," she said about potentially supporting Sanders. "We're still in a very vigorous primary season."

Sanders endorsed Clinton in 2016 following the primary.

"I will say, however, that it's not only him, it's the culture around him," Clinton added. "It's his leadership team. It's his prominent supporters. It's his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women."

Clinton said Sanders has "not only permitted" that culture, but is "very much supporting it."

In a statement issued by his campaign, Sanders responded, "My focus today is on a monumental moment in American history: the impeachment trial of Donald trump. Together, we are going to go forward and defeat the most dangerous president in American history."

Clinton's comments were made public soon after Biden tweeted Monday that he accepted Sanders' apology after his campaign shared an op-ed arguing that the former vice president had a "big corruption problem." Biden had also accused Sanders' campaign of releasing a "doctored" video of his past comments on Social Security and asked for an apology.

"Thanks for acknowledging this, Bernie," Biden, a leading 2020 Democratic presidential contender, tweeted. "These kinds of attacks have no place in this primary. Let’s all keep our focus on making Donald Trump a one-term president."

Speaking with CBS News on Monday, Sanders said: "It is absolutely not my view that Joe is corrupt in any way. And I'm sorry that that op-ed appeared."

He added that he was "really" not a fan of supporters hitting fellow Democratic contenders, saying, "If anyone knows me, what I believe is we need a serious debate in this country on issues. We don't need to demonize people who may disagree with us."

The op-ed, published in The Guardian, was written by law professor and Sanders supporter Zephyr Teachout and was shared by Sanders' speechwriter David Sirota in a campaign newsletter. Teachout wrote that Biden's "big corruption problem ... makes him a weak candidate."

"It looks like 'Middle Class' Joe has perfected the art of taking big contributions, then representing his corporate donors at the cost of middle- and working-class Americans," she wrote. "Converting campaign contributions into legislative favors and policy positions isn’t being 'moderate.'"

That incident comes as the Sanders campaign has increasingly targeted Biden. This month, the Sanders campaign has taken Biden to task over voting in favor of the Iraq War and for past remarks on Social Security.

And Warren accused Sanders this month of having told her in 2018 that he did not think a woman could win the 2020 presidential election. Sanders has strongly denied saying that.
