Sanders mocks Clinton's toughness on Wall Street banks

Bernie Sanders got sarcastic during Thursday’s debate after Hillary Clinton claimed she had been tough on Wall Street as a senator representing New York, calling out big banks for risky lending behavior.

“She called them out. My goodness, they must have been really crushed by this. And was that before or after you received huge sums of money by giving speaking engagements behind them? They must have been very, very upset by what you did,” Sanders said.

Sanders has repeatedly brought up Clinton’s paid speeches — including three speeches to Goldman Sachs that totaled $675,000.

CNN host Dana Bash then asked Clinton why she still refused to release transcripts of her speeches. Clinton echoed the same stance she has said previously: She’ll release the transcripts if everyone (including Republicans) does the same.
