Sen. Bernie Sanders on "Meet The Press."
Speaking on "The View" this week, the former secretary of state reiterated the argument she makes in her new book "What Happened," claiming that Sanders didn't adequately convince his most ardent followers to support her campaign.
"I was arguing with my supporters at the Denver convention in 2008 about why they had to quit complaining that I didn't win and get out and support Barack Obama," Clinton said. "And I didn't get that respect from him and his supporters."
In an interview with "Meet The Press" on Sunday, Sanders responded to Clinton's criticism, arguing that he canvassed for her throughout the US.

For his part, the Vermont senator has repeatedly said Democrats should stop reliving the 2016 primary.
"Let's not keep arguing about 2016," Sanders said during an interview earlier this month. "Let's get together, take on Trump's desire to divide us up. Let's go forward with a progressive agenda."
