Joe Kennedy III on Backing Warren: ‘I Have Deep Admiration and Respect for the Work that She Has Done’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KENNEDY III: “It was a great interview while it lasted, folks. Wonderful to see you. So I think a couple things. One, I have had the opportunity to know senator Warren when she was a law professor. She was my teacher. I met my wife in her class. I know her on a personal level. I have deep admiration and respect for the work that she has done. And, van, I think really kind of critically, of all the candidates that are in this race or might get in this race, I believe that the most critical issue that we are confronting as a country is, in fact, an economy that is not working for everybody. You frame this a lot, and one of the reasons why I signed on to the green new deal is the way that you framed this. It’s the way to look at the big change we have in this, so to leverage that economy to actually address climate. It is that ineffectiveness, the inability of our economy to actually touch and inspire and get the leverage potential of every single person and to actually contribute back to the economic success of our country, and the structural failures that our economy now has that leaves all of those folks behind. There is nobody that has done more work on this for longer and deeper than Elizabeth Warren.”
