CNN’s Preston: Talking About Paid Speeches Was a ‘Bad Moment’ for Clinton Last Night

CUOMO: “Money for the banks. Everyone takes money for speeches, assuming that you are desirable for speaking engagements, but the source of it, the banks, seems to be the big sin. How did that play?”
PRESTON: “Again, it was an interesting exchange between Anderson Cooper and her when he asked her, why did you take $675,000 in speeches and she basically was caught off guard. I think if there was a moment that was a bad moment for Hillary Clinton and we can all agree on this, when she said, well, that’s what they offered, which got a little laughter from the audience but also a subdued laughter. Probably not the best answer for Hillary Clinton you give at this time. But, your point, that is what Bernie Sanders has been hitting home. His idea is, how does somebody who is regulating or supposed to regulate Wall Street as the president of the United States, how can they do that if, at the same time, they are taking such large amounts of money on speaking fees.”
