Problem is, they’re all billionaires.” “Was the way that the mayor implemented stop-and-frisk racist?” “Yes.” “Senator Warren, that is a very serious charge that you leveled at the mayor —” “Yes.” “— that he told a woman to get an abortion.

Because let’s talk about what it adds up to.” “Let’s talk about math.
