Bernie Sanders appeared inan ad supporting Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, according to the new book "Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign," but he could not bring himself to say the words "I'm With Her" in it.AuthorsJonathan Allen and Amie Parnes reveal in the book thatHillary's team gave Sanders a script for thead in September.The scriptincluded Clinton's famous slogan, "I'm With Her. Upon seeing the ad and slogan, Sanders said "It's so phony!," according to a report on the exchange from The Hill.Sanders added that he didn't "want to say that."According to the book, Bernie still shot the ad without the slogan and did multiple takes addressing different angles such as eliminating support for Libertarian Gary Johnson, but the finished product did not sit well with focus groups and was ultimately cut. Undecided voters were unconvinced of Sanders' support for Clinton in the ad after their bitter fightthe Democratic primaries.The book cites one Clinton aide as saying "People didn't feel that it was an authentic pitch for her and what she wanted to do. It even had some backlash in folks saying that he's not really supporting her."Sanders endorsed Hillaryin July last year, and spoke at a rally for her in Raleigh, North Carolina, in early November when her campaign was suffering due to the lingering effects of an FBI investigation into her use of a private email server.SEE ALSO:Hillary Clinton reportedly blamed everyone but herself for her humiliating defeat to TrumpJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: 'Just a loose hunch': Watch Alec Baldwin impersonate Trump and Bill O'Reilly on 'SNL
