This is so much easier than the Washington Times (eesh) would even lead you to believe... probably because they're an ultraconservative shitrag founded by an insane cult leader. But for fans of Bernie born in the last 30 years, the chronology is this:

1) Hilary Clinton is on the board of Walmart while her husband is governor

2) Hilary Clinton resigns Walmart when her husband is president

3) Bill pushes through NAFTA

4) American manufacturing craters; Walmart becomes the largest employer in America

Obviously, you're not going to get that out of the Washington Times because they're about as pro-NAFTA as you could hope for. The only reason you're reading this is they hate Clinton more than they love NAFTA. But you're not going to get anti-NAFTA rhetoric from any of the republican candidates and for the most part, the Sanders campaign has stayed largely positive.
