Washington: Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has said that his fellow democrat Hillary Clinton was not qualified to be the president, adding a sharp rhetoric in the Democratic primary.
"Secretary Clinton appears to be getting a little bit nervous. And she has been saying lately that she thinks that I am `not qualified` to be President. Well, let me, let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton: I don`t believe that she is qualified, if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds. I don`t think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC, "CNN quoted him as saying while addressing a crowd in Philadelphia yesterday.
Clinton`s campaign spokesperson Brian Fallon responded quickly on Twitter."Hillary Clinton did not say Bernie Sanders was `not qualified.` But he has now - absurdly - said it about her. This is a new low," Fallon tweeted.
When asked by MSNBC on Wednesday morning whether she thought Sanders was `ready to be the President`, Clinton replied, "I think he hadn`t done his homework and he`d been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hadn`t really studied or understood, and that does raise a lot of questions. Really what that goes to is for voters to ask themselves can he deliver what he`s talking about."
