Sanders Renews Call For Clinton To Release Wall Street Speech Transcripts

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Tuesday that if Hillary Clinton could raise so much money off her speeches to Wall Street, they must be “brilliant” and should be shared.

“I think if it’s such a brilliant speech you’d want to share it with the people,” Sanders said coyly in the speech in Miami, Florida, a week ahead of the primary there.

“I am prepared to make a dramatic statement,” Sanders said. “I am prepared to release all of the transcripts of speeches I gave to Wall Street. Here they are!”

He then threw his hands out the crowd.

Clinton has received thousands of dollars for her speeches to Wall Street executives. Sanders has repeatedly called on her to release transcripts of her speeches.

  1. Desperation doesn’t suit Bernie well.

  2. Yeah … that’s not getting old … sigh

    Don’t forget “rigged” and “Wall Street”

  3. Why should she release transcripts for Bernie and his trolls to turn into Rose Law Firm-GHAZI!, Vince W. Foster-GHAZI!, email-GHAZI!, BENGHAZIIIIiiiiii!!! ?

  4. Three things:

    1.) Noun, verb, Wall Street.

    2.) Goldman Sachs paid for those speeches, they are not Hillary’s to delivery to Bernie or the public.

    3.) I say, let Hillary release those transcripts only after Bernie releases his tax returns. I’m amazed Hillary has not brought this up, but then again, it’s like punching down, frontrunners don’t need to play in the gutter.

  5. I think she should, but only in regards to a mutual agreement.

    She spills everything out, but in turn he completely explains his borderline aversion to gun control and his opposition to the ex-im bank.

    Come on Bernie, it’s a fair trade.
