Bernie Sanders pressed Hillary Clinton Sunday night to release the transcripts from paid speeches she gave to Wall Street as he called into question her sincerity that she would be tough on big banks.
“One of us has given speeches on Wall Street for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now, I kind of think if you get paid a couple hundred thousand dollars for a speech, it must be a great speech. I think we should release it and let the American people see what that transcript was,” Sanders said during the CNN debate in Michigan.
Clinton repeated that she would be willing to release those speech transcripts when other candidates in the 2016 presidential race released theirs.
Sanders said he was happy to release his speeches to Wall Street.
“While I am your opponent, I release it. Here it is. There ain’t nothing,” Sanders said, waving his arms, referring to the fact that he does not actually give paid speeches to Wall Street.
