Fallout from Clinton's 9/11-Wall St comment during debate...

[Panich52]

Rival campaigns pounce. MSNBC.com:

“…at a Central Iowa Democratic Barbecue … both O’Malley’s and Sanders’ campaigns showed no signs of letting up … Cornel West … spoke on Sanders’ behalf … [He] said Clinton ‘is a master of giving lip service to progressive causes but acting like a neoliberal and a example of the corporate wing of the Democratic Party.’ … O’Malley said Clinton made a ‘gaffe’ in a ‘very, very distasteful way, trying to pump out a smokescreen for her coziness with the big banks of Wall Street by invoking the tragedy of 9/11 and those attacks — and especially so fresh after so many were murdered in Paris.'”

Wall St. donors defend themselves. Bloomberg:

“‘Look, I’ve known Hillary for a long time,” [hedge fund manager Marc Lasry] said. ‘Whether you are from Wall Street or from Main Street, you respect her because of her intelligence and because she’ll fight for you.’ … ‘She rejects simplistic solutions and slogans in favor of comprehensive and thoughtful analysis,’ [Sullivan & Cromwell’ H. Rodgin Cohen] said, ‘whether in the financial arena or elsewhere.'”
