When I was a Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented principled people who made their living in finance. But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in '06, '07 for doing something about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial system is essential.

You have Donald Trump just making outright fabrications, accusing me of something that is absolutely untrue.

What I was saying back then was that we have a lot of public health costs that taxpayers end up paying for through Medicaid, Medicare, through uncompensated care, because that was in the context of the push for health care reform and that we needed some way to try to defray those costs.

We need a cost-effective, high-quality health care system, guaranteeing health care to all of our people as a right.

I think we come at it from somewhat different perspectives. You know, Donald [Trump] was very fortunate in his life, and that's all to his benefit.

I strongly support Roe v. Wade, which guarantees a constitutional right to a woman to make the most intimate, most difficult, in many cases, decisions about her health care that one can imagine.

A man you can bait with a Tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.
