Clinton again invokes 9/11 to justify Wall Street ties
“And so, yes, do I know people and did I, you know, help rebuild after 9/11? Yes, I did. But that has nothing to do with my positions," she said.
Clinton’s comments echoed controversial remarks she made at the Nov. 14 Democratic presidential primary debate. She invoked the aftermath of the attacks after Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders repeatedly criticized her for taking money from the financial sector and questioned whether she had the independence to overhaul the industry.
“I represented New York, and I represented New York on 9/11 when we were attacked,” Clinton pointed out. “Where were we attacked? We were attacked in downtown Manhattan where Wall Street is. I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild. That was good for New York."
