Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said in an interview Sunday that she’s “delighted” her rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) “flip-flopped” on guns.

Clinton’s comments on ABC’s “This Week” were made hours before the Democratic candidates will square off at the presidential debate at 9 p.m. ET.

Sanders supported a bill recently introduced to amend a current law that gives immunity to gun makers and sellers. Sanders had previously voted in favor of the current law that granted those rights.

“He flip-flopped last night,” Clinton said. “”I’m delighted that he has had a change of heart.”

“I welcome Senator Sanders moving on one of the issues he was wrong on. I hope he will continue to move,” Clinton continued.
