By Maxwell Tani, BusinessInsider.com

(Apr. 10, 2016 1:42 pm) — Sen. Bernie Sanders is not pleased with former President Bill Clinton’s assertion that female presidential candidates are subconsciously held to a different standard from male candidates.

In an interview with CNN that aired on Sunday, Sanders sarcastically hit back at Clinton for suggesting that “gender was a factor” in Sanders’ criticism of Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton as unqualified to be president.

“I appreciate Bill Clinton being my psychoanalyst. It’s always nice,” Sanders said.
