Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Wednesday called Hillary Clinton unqualified to sit in the Oval Office.
The Vermont senator slammed his rival during a rally in Philadelphia, saying Clinton was “nervous” about his recent surge in delegates . After bringing up how Clinton apparently called him unqualified, Sanders didn’t hold back.
“I don’t believe that she is qualified if she is . . . taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds,” he told a crowd in Philadelphia. “I don’t think you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC.”
A Clinton spokesman called Sanders’ comments “a new low.”
