Bernie Sanders
The Public Record
Bernie Sanders is an American politician and activist who has served as the junior United States senator from Vermont since 2007. A member of the Independent party, Sanders is known for his progressive policies and advocacy for social justice, healthcare reform, and income equality. He previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991 to 2007, where he was the first independent elected to the House in 40 years. Throughout his career, Sanders has been a vocal critic of economic inequality and corporate influence in politics.
He's hitting Secretary Hillary Clinton hard on Wall Street speeches, on health care.
Let me give you two. First of all, one is the bankruptcy bill that she ended up voting for, which was not a good piece of legislation.
That's its two-way street. I mean the Clinton people also going to have to listen to what these people are fighting for.
Let me say something that may not be great politics, but I think the Secretary is right. And that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails.
I remain one of the poorer members of the United States Senate, and that's what that will show.
We are the only country, major country on Earth, that does not guarantee health care to all people.
I am very glad, Anderson, that secretary Clinton has discovered religion on this issue.
Does Secretary Clinton have the experience and the intelligence to be a president? Of course she does.
We have shown the world that you can run a winning national campaign without being dependent on Wall Street and the big money interests.
I figure if she gets $250,000 for her speech, it must be a brilliant earth-shattering speech. It must be a speech written in Shakespearean prose.
Look, Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton. What Bill Clinton did, I think we can all acknowledge was totally, totally disgraceful and unacceptable. But I am running against Hillary Clinton. I'm not running against Bill Clinton.
And I just want them to understand that, you know, we have tried to run an issue oriented campaign but that we are going to be attacked every single day. And our record is not going to be distorted. We are going to fight back. And what I…
Hillary Clinton is now fraudulently and has fraudulently run a campaign from the beginning trying to morph from a moderate corporate Democrat into a progressive, which she hasn't been able to sell.
Let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton, I don't believe that she is qualified.
I have been saying over and over again since Fukushima, in order to earn the confidence of the American public and win them over, the nuclear power industry must do everything it can to avoid similar disasters, and so must you.
The people of the State, regardless of whether it's Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, or California, it seems to me have the right to have a seat at the table.
I am concerned that the efforts to reduce your budget would undermine safety if they are not implemented carefully, those cuts.
