Sen. Warren Pivots away from Question About College Admission Scandal

‘Some folks who are rich just think they don’t have to play by the same set of rules as anyone else’

RUSH EXCERPT:

WARREN: “All right. So thank you. You know, this scandal just shows one more time that some folks who are rich just think they don't have to play by the same set of rules as anyone else and that they can use their money to do whatever it is in terms of buying influence. We have to put a stop to that, and it's not just -- it's everywhere now. We're here talking about a presidential primary. It's everywhere in Washington. You know, I just -- I want to say something about democracy for a minute. I get that we have a lot of there will be some people who have a little more money, some people who have a little less, some people who go further in school, some people who don't. But the one thing we should all own an equal share of is an equal share of our democracy. We need a government that doesn't just listen to the rich and the powerful, but a government that listens to all of us. And that starts right now in a Democratic primary. Something you can ask everyone in the Democratic primary who wants to ask for your vote is to ask them where they've been and how they've gotten their funding. Me, I don't take corporate pac in fact, I don't take pac money of any kind.”
