Her comment came in response to Bernie Sanders’s criticism of the millions of dollars she’s accepted from banks and bankers and the influence these contributions could have over her.

“I represented New York on 9/11 when we were attacked. Where were we attacked? We were attacked in downtown Manhattan, where Wall Street is,” she said. “I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild. That was good for New York. It was good for the economy, and it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country.”
I could never be a politician cause I'd just be like "gently caress yeah I took the bankers blood money I'll take any goddamn money" and then people would assume my vote was for sale rather than the fact that I just want money

That is correct, but it is no joke. He was pushing the standard evangelical conversion narrative - it's more of a testament to the power of Jesus that you're a good person now if you were really bad when you were younger - and it turns out that his story was, shall we say, unsubstantiated.
