Democratic presidential candidate and independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has initiated a mass fainting spell among the political media by rattling off a list of reasons why he considers rival candidate and current frontrunner Hillary Clinton not qualified to be president. The attack has also galvanized Hillarys supporters, who have responded with the trending hashtag #HillarySoQualified. Unlike a lot of pundits, Im not that bothered by the charge, I love a smash-mouth campaign, and if it is indeed to be on like Donkey Kong, Hillary Clinton can handle herself.
What is a problem, though, is that Bernie Sanders launched his attack by first telling a big, fat, insane lie about Hillary. Heres the full context of Bernies remarks, but pay close attention to the first part:

By saying he had not done his homework! She criticized his action not his humanity.

FACT-CHECK: Joe Scarborough Defends Hillary on Bernies Unqualified Attack
I tried to get Hillary Clinton four times three or four times to say that Bernie Sanders was unqualified to be president of the United States and just like my interview with Rick Santorum, I start asking a question, I keep going being I get an answer or give up and after three or four attempts with Secretary Clinton I gave up because she was not going to say the words he is unqualified to be president of the United States.
