TRANSCRIPT:

FAVREAU: "It was hilarious to me that she is being called in all this coverage a moderate, like, 'Joe Biden has found a fellow moderate or centrist.' She supports something extremely close to Medicare-for-All, which Bernie Sanders acknowledged in his statement supporting her. She's for the Green New Deal, She has one of the most liberal records in the U.S. Senate. If you want to call Kamala Harris's record in the Senate and the policies that she's supporting now centrist or moderate, great. If that's where the Overton window has moved, then congratulations to all the progressive activists, because you have f*cking moved the sh*t out of that window that supporting the Green New Deal and basically Medicare-for-All is now moderate and centrist. Fantastic."
