"I will tell you what most people, most Americans think is shockingly bad: that our system has become distorted by a few who have a lot of money drowning out the voices of the others."

"I guarantee you that Senator McConnell would not have flipped his position, particularly on disclosure, if the vast majority of the money, unregulated money coming into the system were from Democrats ..."

"I am embarrassed about how our system is distorted by literally now billions of dollars coming into this system undisclosed, unregulated, and unanswered."
