Hillary Clinton Claims "Nobody Likes" Bernie Sanders In A New Documentary

Upon reading the headlines today, one would assume we all woke up in the year 2016 today because it appears Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are running against each other again. In an article released today by The Hollywood Reporter, the former First Lady and Democratic Nominee for president discussed the new Hulu docuseries on her life that will premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival. The topics that are covered in Hillary include Monica Lewinsky, her experience running for president in 2016 and her thoughts on Bernie Sanders.

In a series of quotes now circulating all over the internet, Clinton, when asked about Sanders, stated that "nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it." In addition, when asked if she would be willing to endorse Senator Sanders should he win the 2020 nomination, Clinton answered, "I'm not going to go there yet." As soon as Twitter caught wind of the article, the hashtags #ILikeBernie, #ILikeHim, and #NobodyLikesHim began to trend leading many to respond with confusion, anger, and memes.

First came the reactions of many bothered by Clinton's assessment of Sanders in 2020.

Financial data was pulled to prove his likability.

Bernie Sanders outraised Hillary Clinton and every other Democratic candidate in the 2016 primaries combined. The idea that "nobody likes him" is beyond absurd. #ILikeBernie pic.twitter.com/3DZUCaFvy9

Photographic evidence of Sander's rallies were also provided.

Some even used her words as incentive to like him even more.

There was also a call to condemn her comments.

If you don't condemn Hillary Clinton's comments today, I don't want to ever hear you talk about unity again.

Several users chose not to take the bait.

Conservative commentators were happy to chime in on the reignited feud as well.

Hillary Clinton just did the biggest favor for Bernie Sanders any politician has done for another politician in years. Running against Hillary is surefire gold. Just ask Obama 2008 or Bernie 2016 or Trump 2016.

Some users did embrace a stronger tone in response to Clinton's interview.

#nobodylikeshim is a bold statement coming from a woman who lost to Donald Trump. Nobody likes YOU, Hillary. The people that don't like Bernie are all your rich corporate friends.

Many even suggested that she was just operating in jealousy after failing to win the 2016 election.

Many Sanders supporters were happy to point out how much he had assisted Clinton's campaign after she defeated him in the primary.

Don’t forget:Bernie Sanders literally traveled around the country for Clinton in 2016. In his first 5 days on her campaign he did 14 events for her. After his loss he said he would “work his heart out” for her. Hillary in 2020: “#nobodylikeshim”

Some claimed Clinton was simply out of touch.

However, there were some who did agree with Clinton's opinion on Sanders.

Y’all Hillary Clinton didn’t say anything about Bernie Sanders that he hasn't said about himself. He’s not there to get along w/people; he’s not there to "wish someone a happy birthday". He admits, proudly, that he’s kind of a jerk. #NobodyLikesHim pic.twitter.com/tJnNU83QLX https://t.co/QBLAKsWQFt

There was a request for him to apologize to female candidates.

Bernie Sanders apologized to Joe Biden but he has yet to apologize to Hillary Clinton & Elizabeth Warren. Let that sink in for a second.

And for his "surrogates" to apologize as well.

The pod bros and journobros are clutching their pearls about the need for unity before Iowa because Hillary Clinton spoke the truth about Bernie. Where have they been all week as Bernie's been using his surrogates to smear Joe Biden with bullshit allegations of corruption?

Some just really wanted to know why we all cared about 2016 drama.

Honestly, I’m tired of the Hillary Clinton vs. Bernie Sanders show. It’s one of the reasons why I endorsed Elizabeth Warren. If we want to win in 2020 then our party needs to MOVE FORWARD. Reigniting the tensions from 2016 is exactly how we lose again in 2020.

Regardless of how divisive her words may be, it appears Clinton has ushered in new support for Sanders' 2020 campaign.

After the press caught up with Sanders today following the article's release, the senator confirmed that his wife does like him.

I just asked SenSanders for his reaction to HillaryClinton saying “no one likes” him. He said, “On a good day, my wife likes me, so let’s clear the air on that one.” He then pivoted to talking about impeachment. More tonight on NBCNightlyNews

It's amazing to think that we all have 287 days left of this.
