Hillary Clinton’s freaky answer about her ties to Wall Street
“We bring out millions of young people, working-class people in the political process, and we sweep those people out of office”.
Here was presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, engaged in a Democratic debate barely a day after horrific massacres in Paris.
“He’s not on Wall Street”, said Clinton. The union is at the forefront of the push to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour, which Sanders has endorsed but not Clinton. Moments later, Sanders and third candidate Martin O’Malley also declined to use “radical Islam”.
“But no, that wasn’t the ideology that governed that administration and we were attacked on 9/11 – a searing, awful experience for our country – and then two wars”.
“The fact is, Hillary Clinton … as I recall, most of her leading campaign contributors have in fact come from Wall Street. I’m going to support you.’ And I think that is absolutely appropriate”. They expect to get something.
Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)Bernie Sanders wants Hillary Clinton to take a stand on a Senate paid family leave bill that would raise taxes.
“The scientific community is telling us that if we do not address the global crisis of climate change, transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to sustainable energy, the planet that we’re going to be leaving our kids and our grandchildren may well not be habitable”, Sanders said.
O’Malley, however, was happy to hit Clinton on the issue after his speech to the same Democratic barbecue in Ames.
“So, I represented NY, and I represented NY on 9/11 when we were attacked”, Clinton said at the debate on Sunday.
Clinton, the frontrunner in the race, broke with President Barack Obama’s statement that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the group which has claimed credit for Friday’s attacks, is “contained” but said that she did agree with the notion that the us alone cannot shoulder the fight against extremist groups.
In a brief message posted on her official Twitter account, Clinton said “Thanks, @SEIU”. “I did spend a whole lot of time and effort to rebuild”.
In a statement released by the senator’s campaign on Tuesday, Mr. Sanders linked Mrs. Clinton’s acceptance of pharmaceutical campaign donations as the reason why she’s flip-flopped on supporting universal health care. “It was good for the economy, and it was a way to rebuke the terrorists”.
When Clinton raised Wall Street donations along with 9/11, her Democratic rivals quickly pounced.
Clinton has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal speaking fees from Goldman Sachs and private equity firms since leaving the State Department.
“It is unconscionable that millions of new parents in this country are forced back to work because they don’t have the income to stay home with their newborn babies”, he said.
