Bernie Sanders narrowly lost the Nevada Democratic caucuses on Saturday. | Getty Sanders: I'm not a single-issue candidate

Bernie Sanders said Sunday he disagrees with Hillary Clinton’s classification of him as a single-issue candidate.

“I haven’t the vaguest idea of what she is talking about,” the Democratic presidential hopeful said when asked about Clinton’s victory speech in Nevada on Saturday night in which she said she is not a single-issue candidate. That clearly was a jab at Sanders, who often talks about income inequality.


Sanders, speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper, listed multiple other issues he is also focused on.

And despite losing in Nevada on Saturday — 53 percent to 47 percent — Sanders said he is proud of his showing.

“Four or five weeks ago, you would have noted that I was 25 points behind in the polls in Nevada,” he said.

The Vermont senator said his campaign was often described as a “fringe campaign” when he started but that it now has “enormous momentum.”

He acknowledged his campaign had done badly with African-American voters but said that if he is able to get his message out, he can get them on board.
