I have not. I wonder why not. You would think Republicans are opposed to Socialists, wouldn't you?

Not sure if you've considered the fact that she is the easier target. She is easier to attack because she mucks things up and makes vague statements about important issues. It is harder to attack someone who is clear about what they think.

Though Sanders hasn’t been hit nearly as hard as Clinton, he has been attacked by the right a few times. Future 45, a conservative Super PAC funded by backers of Marco Rubio, ran a 30-second spot sounding the alarms on higher taxes to come under Sanders.

Also note, Hillary's campaign is doing the work for the Republicans (they have sponsored many more attack ads against Bernie) so why should the Republicans spend money when their presumptive opponent is doing their dirty work.

Our ruling

Clinton said, "Let me say that I don't think (Sanders has) had a single negative ad ever run against him."

The number of attack ads against Sanders pales in comparison to the number against Clinton, but she’s wrong that he’s been completely spared.

Democratic groups, including one supporting Clinton, and Republican outfits alike have gone after Sanders.

We rate her claim False.
