WASHINGTON -- Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday he has no regrets about defending Hillary Clinton from having to talk about her emails all the time.
Sanders sat down with ABC "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos, who asked him whether he had "second thoughts" about his memorable moment from Tuesday's debate.
"Well, I don't think so," Sanders said. "I think what the American people want, George, is a discussion in this country of the real issues that are impacting them. And that is -- they're asking why it is they're working longer hours for low wages, why we have a massive level of income and wealth inequality such that almost all of the new income and wealth is going to the top 1 percent."

Sanders said Sunday that voters are more interested in hearing about issues like paid family and medical leave, college affordability, mass incarceration, campaign finance reform and climate change.
"All of those issues are more important than Hillary Clinton's emails, of which there is already a process underway to determine what happens," he said.
