Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton's communications director, argued after Clinton knocked Sanders that the video of the then-Vermont congressman standing behind the first lady "proves our point."
"Hillary Clinton was out in front. Senator Sanders was in the background. She is the one that took the slings and arrows from the health care industry," Palmieri said, adding later that in the video pushed by the Sanders campaign, "He is literally standing behind her, she is literally the one out front, as she was 20-25 years ago."
