Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Friday brushed aside remarks by Vice President Biden earlier this week that income inequality is a "relatively new" issue for her.
During a phone interview with MSNBC's Morning Joe , she pointed to Biden's later clarification that what he meant was she was busy with other issues during the four years she was secretary of State.
"That's why I've devoted a lot of my time and attention to trying to end the inequality of opportunity that poor kids face, why I have worked hard to level the playing field for women who are often treated unequally, why I have stood up and fought against a lot of the plans and the proposals when I was a senator to slash taxes on the wealthy... I could go on and on."
