Sanders: True Progressives Wouldn’t Take $15M from Wall Street, Support Iraq War

HeadlineFeb 04, 2016

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders sparred over who was a true progressive at a town hall event in New Hampshire last night.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “I do not know any progressive who has a super PAC and takes $15 million from Wall Street. That’s just not progressive. As I mentioned earlier, the key foreign policy vote of modern American history was the war in Iraq. The progressive community was pretty united in saying, ’Don’t listen to Bush. Don’t go to war.’ Secretary Clinton voted to go to war.”
