Bernie Sanders on Sunday defended Hillary Clinton over recorded remarks that Republicans said demeaned his supporters but which he said were entirely in line with his beliefs. In it, Clinton said she feared for young people such as those who supported Sanders in the Democratic primary. The Trump campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, tweeted that Clinton had been “caught again mocking Americans; she hates coal miners, baristas, Sanders idealists”. Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the Republican national committee, said Sanders supporters should “get out of your parents baement [sic] and listen to what Hillary Clinton thinks of you”. “The bottom line here is that since the [primary] election, Secretary Clinton has worked with me,” Sanders said.
