“If you look at my record, it was clear who I came here to fight for, but I actually saw that symbols were important. So not last year, not three years ago, not five years ago, but 10 years ago. I was the, I think fourth senator, I think one of the first people in all of Congress to say I won't take corporate PAC money. Not because those corporate PACs were influencing me, but because the symbol to me was just wrong and I want to get corporate PAC money out of it.” (04:16–04:24)
