Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders rebuked Clinton while addressing a crowd in Philadelphia earlier this week.

The Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton clash on qualification flips, altogether. Sanders has come forth and said that ‘of course’ Hillary Clinton is qualified to be president. This comes right after Sanders viciously attacked Clinton by stating that she was not qualified for the presidency, earlier this week.

When asked about the Democratic front runner’s qualifications on NBC’s Today, Sanders said that ‘of course’ the former secretary of state is qualified for the White House. He also said that “on her worst day she would be an infinitely better president than either of the Republican candidates.”

The Vermont Senator lashed out at Clinton while in Philadelphia late Wednesday, stating reasons why Clinton was unfit for the presidency. He was firm about his negative comments on Thursday when Clinton chose to avoid the dispute in their extremely bitter Democratic primary contest.

While campaigning in New York City on Thursday, Clinton said, “I don’t know why he’s saying that…but I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald trump or Ted Cruz any time.”

However, Bernie Sanders walked back his negative comments on Friday morning. Sanders had commented on Clinton after she had criticised his interview with New York Daily News and said that ‘he hadn’t done his homework’, earlier this week.
