Clinton says she’ll release Wall Street speeches if rivals do the same
With victory seemingly out of reach in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton is looking ahead to the next round of voting as she tries to counter the rising challenge from Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential race.
Clinton accused the Sanders campaign of an “artistic smear” over suggestions by Sen.
“After every caucus, the party goes through a self-examination process to discuss what went right, and what can be improved upon”, she said in the statement.
Clinton said one voted for a bad bankruptcy bill in 2001 because of the necessities of legislative deal-making – in this case, changing a provision that would have made it easier for people declaring bankruptcy to avoid making child support payments.
“I do not have a super PAC”, Sanders said. “And I resent deeply any effort by the Sanders campaign to so imply” otherwise.
Aides say she was invited by Flint Mayor Karen Weaver, and that Clinton plans a town hall meeting with Flint residents before returning to New Hampshire, which holds its primary on Tuesday. Last Monday, Clinton narrowly beat Sanders in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses.
He was quickly dispatched to SC for campaign events on Saturday with Erica Garner, whose father died in 2014 after a white NY police officer put the black man in a choke hold.
“I wish I was here to only celebrate the good things that were happening in this church and this community”, said Clinton.
Clinton said Sunday that she’d release the transcripts but that others, including 2016 White House rivals, must do the same and suggested that she’s being unfairly targeted, as she has in the past. “I don’t mind being the subject in Republican debates, the subject in the Democratic primary”. Clinton insisted her speeches promoted her own views, and at the time, she didn’t know she would be running for president.
Sanders on Sunday declined to call for Clinton to release the transcripts.
