Washington (CNN)-Democratic
presidential contender Bernie Sanders is portraying his rival Hillary
Clinton a newcomer to the left's fight against income inequality.
"It's
one thing to talk about it. It's one thing to act on it," the Vermont
senator said during an interview with CNN's Brianna Keilar aired Sunday
on "State of the Union."

"You are
looking at the most progressive member of the United States Senate," he
said, touting his relationship as a "good friend" of firebrand
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Sanders
said he's led efforts to challenge Wall Street, push for universal
health care, tackle climate change and combat "disastrous trade
agreements."

He also said Clinton
should take a position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a massive
12-country deal that President Barack Obama is pushing to the dismay of
liberals.
"You can't be on the fence of this one," he said. "You're either for it or you're against it. No fence-sitting on this one."
Sanders
said he personally likes Clinton. He said he's willing to challenge
her on policy issues -- but that he hopes media will cover those
differences without Sanders having to launch "reckless attacks."
"Are
you in the media prepared to allow us to engage in that serious
debate?" he said. "Or do I have to get media attention by simply making
reckless attacks on Hillary Clinton or anybody else? I don't believe in
that. I believe in serious debates on serious issues."

'I too am curious where Hillary stands on TPP, I am all for Bernie as I think, as he says 'It's time to talk about the Issues' and more that have to do with the 'People' and not 'Corporations'!!!'
