EXCERPT:

BEHAR: "Are those mistakes? Would you say those are mistakes, being on the cover of 'Vanity Fair'? It looks elitist? Why?"
O'ROURKE: "Yeah, I think it reinforces that perception of privilege and that headline that said I was born to be in this, in the article I was attempting to say that I felt that my calling was in public service. No one is born to be president of the United States of America, least of all me.”
