In an effort to give her struggling campaign a boost, Hillary Clinton predictably turned to her popular ex-husband, as well as to her own daughter, for help.
And she got it, although the attacks from those other Clintons upon the Sanders campaign have been disingenuous at best. They have been filled with fear-mongering and not just half truths, but outright lies.
Former President Bill Clinton attacked Sanders and his movement as being, in effect, a liberal answer to the Tea Party movement.
Sanders dismissed these allegations as nonsense, and then finally pointed his own attacks at Clinton's presidency, suggesting that Clinton's emphasis on deregulation and the horrendous NAFTA agreement were devastating for the American middle class.
Here, specifically, is what he said:
“Bill Clinton was the president who led the effort to deregulate Wall Street, was the president who fought for the disastrous NAFTA trade agreement.”

“[Clinton] was the president who pushed this so-called welfare reform, which was absolutely disastrous for low-income people in general, and the African-American community in particular.”
Nor is Sanders the only surprising critic of Bill Clinton's presidency, and the detrimental impact it had on the middle class of the United States. No less a prominent figure among the Democrats then Joseph Biden took aim at Clinton's policies, and how these really hurt the middle class.
