Kellyanne Conway bizarrely defended Bernie Sanders after Hillary Clinton claimed: 'no one likes him.'

As we rapidly approach the 2020 election, memories of the 2016 political circus are rushing back in full force.More specifically, comparisons and tensions between supporters of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have been resurfacing as he&#39;s risen in the polls in recent weeks.On Tuesday night, The Hollywood Reporter published an article profiling Clinton&#39;s upcoming Hulu documentary &quot;Hillary&quot; which will dive into everything from the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the 2016 election.While the article spanned a lot of different subjects covered in the documentary, a disparaging quote from Clinton about Sanders has caused a lot of discussion online.In the documentary, Clinton claims no one likes working with Sanders and that he hasn&#39;t done much in his 30 years of politics. &quot;He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It&#39;s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.&quot; In the soundbite, it was also unclear whether Clinton would endorse him if he was given the nomination. This, of course, resparked a war between Sanders supporters and former Clinton supporters.When Hillary said &quot;nobody likes&quot; Bernie, she didn&#39;t mean voters or supporters, she meant other politicians.But that&#39;s the point.
