The New York Daily News' interview of Bernie Sanders was "more of an inquisition," according to the Vermont senator's wife Jane.

Sanders, speaking to CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Wednesday, was asked about the Daily News’ decision to endorse former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her husband, whose remarks to the tabloid paper's editorial board were widely criticized as vague, including by Clinton.

“It was a very odd interview. We commented on that afterwards — that it was more of an inquisition, hurry, hurry, interrupt, let's ask the questions don't let you even finish your answers,” Sanders said on Wednesday. “We didn't realize that they had released the transcript so it became a little more evident what they were trying to do."

She said that the transcript didn’t convey the full context of her husband's remarks.

“And when you see only words down, it doesn't quite give the flavor of it,” Sanders said. "He wasn't vague before or after."
