Speaking Thursday in Michigan, a state he described as "devastated" by the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said that on "one of the most important issues facing working people"—trade—he and his rival Hillary Clinton "have very different points of view."

As he's been doing for months, Sanders drew attention to his own consistent opposition to corporate-friendly, "job-killing" trade deals, juxtaposing his record with that of the former secretary of state, who only came out against the Trans Pacific Partnership last fall after having once called it "the gold standard in trade agreements."

"A campaign is not about what you said yesterday. It is about what you have stood for your entire career. On one of the most important issues facing working people, Secretary Hillary Clinton and I have very different points of view," Sanders said at a press conference East Lansing, where he was reportedly flanked by union members.

In supporting trade deals like NAFTA, he continued, "She was very, very wrong and millions of families across the country have been suffering."
