BUSTED: Bernie Disqualifies Hillary but Supported Obama and Kerry Despite Same Positions

http://bluenationreview.com/busted-bernie-disqualifies-hillary-but-supported-obama-and-kerry/

Over the past 24 hours, Bernie Sanders and his campaign have shed any pretense that they are running a positive campaign and have embraced low-ball GOP-style tactics. But along with desperation comes a loss of message control and Bernie is now contradicting his own positions.

Here are Bernie’s deplorable remarks about Hillary not being qualified for the presidency:

I don’t believe that she is qualified–if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds! I don’t think that you are [makes air quotes] qualified if you get fifteen million dollars from Wall Street through your super PAC! I don’t think you are [air quotes] qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in Iraq! I don’t think you are qualified if you’ve supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement, which has cost us millions of decent-paying jobs!


Bernie supported John Kerry for president even though Kerry voted for the AUMF.
