Sanders says Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president
Senator Sanders says Clinton's support for the Iraq War and trade agreements makes her unsuitable for the presidency

PHILADELPHIA, PA (KTRK) -- Senator Bernie Sanders says Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president.

The Vermont Democrat went after the former Secretary of State at a rally in Pennsylvania Wednesday night, saying Clinton appears to be getting nervous over his recent electoral wins.

Sanders has won seven of the last eight nominating contests

Sanders has won seven out of the last eight primaries and caucuses.

"I don't believe she is qualified and she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds," Sanders says. "I don't think you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street...I don't think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous War in Iraq."

Sanders also hit Clinton on her support for several trade agreements, including the Panama Free Trade agreement.

"[It is] something I very strongly opposed and which, as all of you know, has allowed corporations and wealthy people to avoid paying their taxes to their countries," Sanders says.
