Clinton Dodges Questions About Super PAC Asking for Sanders’ Health Records

STEPHANOPOULOS: "Let’s get to the campaign right now. A strange series of events yesterday. The super PAC coordinating with you put out word that they’d be demanding to release of Bernie Sanders’ health records. Sanders campaign struck back, calling that vile. Your campaign disavowed it. It appeared to go away. So what is relevant here and what’s not? Should age and health be an issue in this campaign?"
CLINTON: "Oh, look, you know, I put out my medical records. I think you’ve been around long enough to know, George, this is all part of the expectation. But I think it’s fair to say that I share a lot of the same goals with Senator Sanders about what we need to do on behalf of our country. But we have differences. And that’s what I’m focusing on now. We’re going to have a spirited debate, I expect, tonight in Charleston. Certainly Senator Sanders has been pointing out differences. And one of the issues that I have drawn a very stark contrast on has been guns. You know, I have pointed out repeatedly, because I think it’s a critical issue, that Senator Sanders has, for years, voted many times on behalf of the NRA gun lobby position. And one of the most egregious of those votes was the vote to give immunity from all liability to gun makers and sellers. Now, I was happy when —"
STEPHANOPOULOS: "He now supports taking that away."
CLINTON: "Well, he flip-flopped last night, said that he would sign on to a bill that is currently pending in the House and Senate to repeal that liability. And I’m delighted that he has had a change of heart. I think that’s all for the good. Now I hope he will take a hard look at what we call the Charleston loophole. That’s a provision he also voted for, that gives a gun to a potential buyer after three days whether or not the background check has been completed. And it’s called the Charleston loophole because that’s how the killer in Charleston got his gun when, if there had been a little more time, information would have come to light that would have shown he was prohibited. And, of course, we know he used that gun to go to Mother Emanuel Church and murder nine faithful people at Bible study. So I want to see movement against the gun lobby, because we cannot continue to lose 90 people a day, 33,000 a year, to gun violence. And I welcome Senator Sanders moving on one of the issues he was wrong on. I hope he will continue to move."
