Bernie Sanders: Hillary Clinton hasn't stood up to Wall Street

Sen. Bernie Sanders said Hillary Clinton hasn’t shown courage in standing up to Wall Street power.

The Democratic presidential candidate, during a Wednesday interview on MSNBC'sMorning Joe, said America needs a president to stand up to the “billionaire class” and Wall Street.

“Do I think Hillary Clinton or many other senators have shown the courage that is necessary to stand up to Wall Street power? The answer is no,” he said.

He said he's running for president because he doesn't think Clinton has that courage.

Sanders’ comments came a day after he delivered a major address on Wall Street reform in Manhattan. He proposed breaking up the biggest banks and reinstating the Glass-Steagall financial law that separated commercial and investment banking activities.

She never will, she won't bite the hands that feed her.

He was right then and he's right now even more so. Trumps (No pun intended) all the other issues handily. If Bernie can continue to connect just on that issue alone, he's out in front.

Most know the system is rigged, but no one in power has been willing to help them understand.

The times, they are a'changin'.
