Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who had previously avoided commenting on the Monica Lewinsky affair, said that Bill Clinton’s behavior in the White House was “totally disgraceful and unacceptable.”

Last week Saunders had criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for using Clinton’s past sexual indiscretions to attack Hillary Clinton. “We have more things to worry about than Bill Clinton’s sexual life,” he said according to ABC News. But on Friday, he referenced the affair.

“Look Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton. What Bill Clinton did, I think we can all acknowledged was totally, totally, totally disgraceful and unacceptable,” Sanders said on the campaign trail in Iowa, but emphasized, “I am running against Hillary Clinton, I am not running against Bill Clinton, though I gather he’s been in Iowa recently.”
