Elizabeth Warren tried to skirt questions about Hillary Clinton’s claim “nobody likes” her rival for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders.
“I’m not going there,” the Massachusetts senator, 70, told CBS Friday morning.
Clinton, 72, in an interview published this week by the Hollywood Reporter, blasted the Vermont senator, her former 2016 Democratic primary opponent, as “a career politician,” saying she felt “so bad” that “people got sucked into” him.
“He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done,” the former secretary of state told the outlet.
Warren, who shared a cordial relationship with Sanders, 78, until this month when she accused him this month of calling her a liar for denying her assertion that he told her he didn’t believe a woman could capture the White House.
“Bernie and I have worked together for a very long time, and we continue to do so. I’ve said all I’m going to say about this,” she told CBS before pivoting to impeachment.
Warren said if she secures her party’s nomination and the Oval Office, she would make public all the evidence President Trump and his administration were keeping from Congress as the Senate presides over the impeachment trial, she said.
The former Harvard Law School professor also responded to a viral video of a father in Grimes, Iowa, confronting her over her student loan debt forgiveness plan, claiming those who had already paid their college tuition fees were getting “screwed.”
“We build a future going forward by making it better. By that same logic, what would we have done? Not started Social Security because we didn’t start it last week for you or last month for you?” she said.
When pressed on whether she was saying “tough luck” to the father and other people in similar situations, the senator replied curtly: “No.”
