Bernie Sanders this morning issued a one-minute web ad which slams Hillary Clinton for refusing to debate him one final time. The Hill recaps:
Bernie Sanders on Monday night said it’s “a little bit insulting” to California voters that Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton refuses to debate him ahead of the state’s primary.
“I was disturbed, but not surprised that Secretary Clinton has backed out of the debate,” Sanders said at a rally in Santa Monica, Calif., ahead of the delegate-rich June 7 primary.
“I think it’s a little bit insulting to the people of California — our largest state — that she is not prepared to have a discussion with me about how she will help the Californians address the major crises that we face,” he continued.
Prior to his rally, Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri sent out a statement about the former secretary of State’s decision to decline to debate Sanders.
