Hillary Clinton turned up the heat on her rival for the Democratic nomination Friday, just a day after President Barack Obama's pledge to withhold support candidates who do not support "common-sense gun reform."
"When it really mattered, Senator Sanders voted with the gun lobby and I voted against the gun lobby," she said on MSNBC's Hardball, referring to 2005 legislation that protects gun manufacturers from legal liability in gun violence lawsuits.
"This is a significant difference," she added. "Maybe it's time for Senator Sanders to stand up and say, 'I got this one wrong.'"
