Bernie Sanders blasted Hillary Clinton for not taking a position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, suggesting, “I think serious people have got to have an opinion on the issue” in an interview on “Morning Joe” to be released in full Thursday.
Sanders insisted this is “not a complicated issue. You can be for it; you can be against it.”
Joe Scarborough: How can Hillary Clinton though be quiet? That always drove me crazy about people in my party as well as Democrats. How can you be quiet on an issue this important? How can you be quiet on an issue? You and I disagree on Keystone, but I’ve got my view on Keystone, you’ve got your view on Keystone, let’s put it out there, let’s debate it and America is better for it. How can Hillary Clinton take so long on the issue as important to Democrats as Keystone and now TPP?
Bernie Sanders: Well, I agree with you, Joe. I mean, you’ll have to ask the secretary why. But this is, you know, you’re right. This is not a complicated issue. You can be for it; you can be against it. But I think serious people have got to have an opinion on the issue.
