Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders released a new line of charges and criticisms on the campaign trail designed to underscore his differences with Hillary Clinton.
Campaigning in Fairfield and Burlington, Iowa, on Thursday night, Sanders listed several policies from the 1990s and 2000s he didn't support—NAFTA, the Defense of Marriage Act, the deregulation of Wall Street, and the war in Iraq—that he said Clinton, or former President Bill Clinton, did. He then moved to criticize what he has called Clinton's late arrival to popular liberal opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Keystone XL pipeline.
