Sanders Camp Manager: Clinton Has Never Had a ‘Consistent Record’ on Gun Laws

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

CUOMO: “We've seen it here on the show. The senator can be very passionate. In fact, I don't know what morning show he's been on more than ours. Let’s take a look at the case against Bernie Sanders from Hillary Clinton, which is essentially, he's a gun nut. Listen to what Hillary Clinton said.”

CLINTON: “I think he has been consistently refusing to say that he would vote to repeal this absolute immunity from any kind of responsibility or liability. President Obama and I, and Senator Sanders, were all in the senate at the same time. Two of us voted against what the NRA says was the most important piece of legislation in 20 years for the gun lobby. Senator Sanders voted with them.”

CUOMO: “Hillary Clinton says Bernie Sanders wants to protect the gun lobby. The senator yesterday, through George Stephanopoulos, said, I’m sticking by my votes and position. Explain that to the democratic voters in the country.”

WEAVER: “Chris, I think if you look at what he said yesterday and what he has said the last couple months, what he's said is he's willing to take another look at that bill. There were aspects of the bill which he supported and aspects he opposed. He has said publicly on "meet the press" and at the first two democratic debates, he's willing to take another look at the bill. Look, it's political season. People will remember that secretary Clinton has been all over the map on guns. She’s been conservative on guns. been liberal on guns. people will remember the attack she leveled against then-senator Barrack Obama, now president, back in 2008 on guns, when she was tacking to the right on this. I think her argument would be more compelling if she had a consistent record on this.”
