Pathetically, Hillary Clinton is smearing Bernie Sanders as sexist again.

In a new book, Hillary Clinton accuses Bernie Sanders of being a sexist, reports the New York Post. Of her former rival for the presidency, she hints, with disgraceful innuendo, “I know the kinds of things that he says about women and to women.”

The neoliberal Democrats never tire of these low-blow attacks on Sanders. Remember when they claimed he was exerting male privilege (or something?) by pointing his finger too emphatically in a debate? In the book, Clinton revisits an incident from the 2020 campaign, when Elizabeth Warren publicly accused Sanders of having told her privately that a woman couldn’t be elected president. When Sanders denied saying that, she huffily made a public incident of it, accusing him of calling her a liar.

But regardless of how this game of telephone began, Sanders is clearly not a sexist. And it’s simply absurd for Clinton to make insinuations about “the kinds of things he says about women and to women.” When Clinton makes such accusations, it looks like projection. Such plainly false accusations seem intended to draw attention from the many ways that mainstream Democrats have failed women — and Bernie Sanders’s far better record on feminist concerns.
