Weaver on Hillary: Wall Street ‘Give Her Money Because They Like Her Positions’

Matthews: ‘Somebody’s not a hooker or a prostitute because they support one of those positions’

Sanders Manager Jeff Weaver on Clinton's Wall Street Ties: "They Give Her Money Because They Like Her Positions" (RealClearPolitics)

Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver gets to the bottom of what attacks on Hillary's Wall Street contributions boil down to in a zen-like moment that calms down a raging Chris Matthews. 

"They give her money because they like her positions," he said about big banks and corporate interests. 

"Bernie is not a free trader. He's been against all the trade deals, and Sec. Clinton was not. Those are differences of opinion. Somebody's not a hooker or a prostitute because they support one of those positions," Chris Matthews said to Weaver just before that. "You just said they do it because they are paid to do it," he shouted, referencing his claim this week that Clinton sold her soul to the devil.
