After weeks of insisting that they were not attacking one another, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders took the gloves off for their first one-on-one debate as they sparred on who would be the more progressive president.
Asked about his claim that the former secretary of state is a progressive only on "some days," Sanders pointed to Clinton's prior claim that she is "guilty" or being a "moderate."
"If I could, you know, in the very first debate I was asked am I a moderate or a progressive and I said I'm a progressive who likes to get things done. Cherry picking a quote here or there doesn't change my record." Clinton insisted.
She added, "Look, I understand Senator Sanders is really trying to distinguish himself. I understand that, that's what you do in campaigns, but at the same time let's not be — in, I think an unfair way, making an accusation, or making an attack about where I stand and about where I've always stood."
