Bernie Sanders reveals his message for Hillary Clinton on Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show'

Bernie and Hillary, Hillary and Bernie, just like the old days. But this time the feud is taking an unexpected turn.

The Vermont senator appeared on Stephen Colbert's The Late Show days after CNN revealed a few excerpts from Clinton's new book, What Happened, in which she accuses Sanders of paving the way for Trump's "Crooked HIllary" campaign.

But Bernie doesn't hold a grudge, and begs Clinton to look at the challenges ahead of the progressives.

“Look, Secretary Clinton ran against the most unpopular candidate in the history of this country and she lost and was upset about that and I understand that,” he told Colbert.

“But our job now is really not to go backwards. It is to go forward. It is to create the kind of nation we know we can become. We have enormous problems facing us and I think it's a little bit silly to keep talking about 2016.”

When Colbert asks Sanders what he should ask Clinton when she would sit in the same chair next week for her first late-night appearance since the election, the senator replied: “I think the response is we have got to think going forward."
