Why Bernie Sanders is calling Hillary Clinton out on paid family leave

A notable moment came when Clinton, who'd already used the phrase "radical jihadist ideology" to characterize the Islamic State, was asked if she agreed with Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio's use of the term "radical Islam" and replied, "I don't think we're at war with all Muslims".

"I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild", continued Clinton, who took office as New York's junior senator just eight months before the attack on the World Trade Center.

"Predictably, exploded with demands to know what campaign donations from big banks had to do with New York's recovery from 9/11", the NY Times wrote.

Foreign policy is the new focus on the 2016 campaign trail in the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris, marking a new chapter in the race for the White House that has so far focused on issues such as immigration, the economy and bringing change to Washington.

"I think that she was feeling that unfair charges were made and she pushed back", he said.

O'Malley slammed what he calls Clinton's "crony capitalism - of the new, by the few, for the few", and said that he, instead, subscribes to "traditional fair market American capitalism", where Americans are not "on the hook as taxpayers".

O'Malley in recent days has called the remarks "shameful and distasteful" and accused Clinton of creating a "smokescreen" to hide her close relationship with Wall Street.

The union that has spearheaded the campaign to set a $15 minimum hourly wage for all workers in the United States yesterday threw its weight behind the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton meaning that she now has the support of roughly two thirds of all unionised workers in the country.

"If I were one of the leaders of the global jihadist movement and I didn't infiltrate that group of people with my people... that would be nearly malpractice", Carson said.

Clinton has said she supports 12 weeks of paid family leave, but supports a different way to pay for it, her campaign said.

Clinton was coming under pressure from Bernie Sanders for taking huge chunks of money from Wall Street interests. "We said, 'Ok, let's have a more moderate view, but let's not tilt it. Let's not get the deck stacked in favor of those who are at the top,"" Clinton said.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign on Sunday defended her donations from Wall Street by saying she worked to help the financial sector rebuild after the September 11, 2001, attacks and sought to address the abuses that led to an economic crisis.
