Hillary Clinton today defended her daughter's attacks against her Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders’ single-payer health care plan, despite criticism the remark was inaccurate.
"You know, I adore my daughter and I know what she was saying," Clinton told "Good Morning America" about Chelsea Clinton. "Because if you look at Senator Sanders' proposals going back nine times in the Congress, that’s exactly what he’s proposed. To take everything we currently know as health care, Medicare, Medicaid, the CHIP Program, private insurance, now of the Affordable Care Act, and roll it together."
Chelsea Clinton Tuesday joined in on her mother's jabs against Sanders, saying during a campaign event in New Hampshire that the Vermont senator wants to "dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare and private insurance."
The Sanders campaign quickly responded by saying that Chelsea Clinton was "wrong."
"A Medicare-for-all plan will save the average middle class family $5,000 a year," a spokesman for Sanders' campaign said. "The Clinton campaign is wrong."
Later in the day, Democratic strategist David Axelrod criticized the Clinton campaign for having Chelsea Clinton take a shot at Sanders. "It wasn't an honest attack," he said during an interview on CNN.
On "Good Morning America" today, however, Clinton doubled down on her campaign's critique of Sanders and called for the Vermont senator to lay out "specifics" of his health care plan.
The back-and-forth between the two Democratic candidates comes one day after a new Quinnipiac poll was released showing Sanders with a slight lead over Clinton in Iowa.
When asked whether her increased attacks on Sanders are because she is feeling nervous, Clinton laughed.

Gee, I wonder about what the good number of Canadian doctors who went to live and work in the United States think of all of this? After all, they are the ones who should know that single payer health care benefits neither them or the nurses or the patients but only the lard assed public servant unions.
She believes in man-made Climate Change so she must be a brilliant scientist. Her parents are politicians so she knows ALL about politics.
...yeah, that's the ticket
I don’t have a dog in this fight.
I am so sick of hearing about politician’s kids. Hillary defends Chelsea. George P. talks about Jeb. GO AWAY! I don’t care. If Chelsea and George P mated, they’d produce the stupidest child on the face of the earth.
The homely little spawn of Hubble had better be careful, she’s no longer a kid and is fair game.
Dumb and dumber.
She puts her family out there and then they are fair game.
I guess Chelsea Clinton can now be attacked.
Break out the Web Hubble pictures and let’s get Clinton’s DNA to make sure she is really their child.
At least Sanders is open about it.
Chelsea Clinton ,a no body who’s accomplished nothing
Lol.
A knock-down donnybrook over just how Socialist health care should be.
How far we’ve fallen.
Bernie there is an E-Mail that saves Chelsea Hubby's job.
