“I think that her support for the war in Iraq was not just an aberration,” Bernie Sanders said. | Getty Sanders equates Clinton with Trump on foreign policy

Hillary Clinton has bathed in accolades from Democrats for her scathing speech against Trump’s foreign policy credentials. But in an interview aired Sunday, her rival for the Democratic nomination Bernie Sanders suggested that Clinton’s own foreign policy judgment raises similar concerns.

“I think frankly they both make a point,” he said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” about the back-and-forth sniping between Trump and Clinton over foreign policy judgment — and who is more likely to get the United States entangled in a new war.

“I think that her support for the war in Iraq was not just an aberration,” he said. “I think that her willingness to push President Obama to overthrow [Libya's Muammar] Qadhafi and lead to the kind of instability we’re seeing now in Libya, not inconsistent with her views on Syria, where she wants a no-fly zone.”

“Bush’s era, Clinton’s era has caused us incalculable harm,” he added.
