The Democratic presidential candidate, during a Wednesday interview on MSNBC'sMorning Joe, said America needs a president to stand up to the billionaire class and Wall Street.
Do I think Hillary Clinton or many other senators have shown the courage that is necessary to stand up to Wall Street power? The answer is no, he said.
He said he's running for president because he doesn't think Clinton has that courage.
Sanders comments came a day after he delivered a major address on Wall Street reform in Manhattan. He proposed breaking up the biggest banks and reinstating the Glass-Steagall financial law that separated commercial and investment banking activities.

Most know the system is rigged, but no one in power has been willing to help them understand.
The times, they are a'changin'.
