Hillary Clinton Told Donors Bernie Sanders' 'Ideas Are Indefensible'

Hillary Clinton told donors at a February fundraiser that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “ideas are indefensible,” claiming the middle-class tax increases they require would be both bad policy and a political loser. The remarks, which are public thanks to audio of the fundraiser, which the conservative news and commentary outlet the Free Beacon obtained from a Clinton staffer’s hacked e-mails, are largely just a blunter version of public comments Clinton made in the heat of the primary campaign. But the recording may support a perception among Sanders supporters that, in the company of well-heeled donors, Clinton is more disdainful of the ambitious ideas of her primary challenger than she would ever dare to be in public. “The amount of taxes that would be raised on middle-class families is quite significant,” the former secretary of state says in the recording.
