Jennifer Granholm Struggles to Explain Clinton’s Position on Trade, TPP

‘People care about trade and it’s important and they want to see trade create jobs in America but don’t underestimate this point about economic development strategies that create jobs in America’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

HUNT: “You didn’t mention the TPP, the transpacific partnership. That’s another one where the Sanders campaign would argue Hillary Clinton said very positive things about it as secretary of state and now that there’s a political wind that has shifted that she has taken a different position. What about that evolution?”
GRANHOLM: “OK, since when — let me ask you this. Since when does a cabinet member go against their president? I mean, really? She was his — he was her boss. She was going to support that agenda and she hoped that it would come out the way she wanted it to. It didn’t when she saw in the end and she’s against it. The point that I’m making, though, is that this argument is not just — not solely anti-trade and believe me I feel this so passionately because we saw so many jobs. It’s not just anti-trade, it’s also about pro-job creation. What are you going to do to create jobs.”
