U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Sunday took a jab at rival Hillary Clinton's electability, pointing to the controversy surrounding her use of a private email server as evidence of potential damage to the front-runner's campaign.
"In terms of what people are going to get slapped with, look at the front pages today in terms of what Secretary Clinton is getting slapped with," Sanders said on ABC's "This Week," referring to Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of state.
"There is a legal process underway right now," he said. "And I'm not going to politicize that issue."
Sanders, a senator from Vermont, had previously refrained from invoking the controversy over Clinton's controversial use of a private email account on a private server. In an early Democratic presidential debate, he declared that the American people were "sick and tired" of hearing about it.

Sanders seems to have changed his opinion on Hillary Clinton's supposed e-mail scandals. Previously, as the article mentions, he said people were "sick and tired of hearing about [her] damn emails." Now, he's taken the stance that the emails pose a threat to her electability and have become "a very serious issue."
