YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Hillary Clinton’s top adviser has defended her apparent shift to the left in recent weeks, as the campaign’s first big speech prompted Republicans to claim Democrats were seeking an effective third term for Barack Obama’s agenda.
John Podesta, who served as counsellor to Obama before leaving the White House to chair Clinton’s presidential campaign, insisted the former secretary of state’s full-throated endorsement of progressive causes at a rally in New York on Saturday was not inconsistent with her previously more moderate views when she ran against him in 2008 or was last in the White House as first lady.
“Circumstances change,” Podesta told NBC. “This isn’t 1992. It’s not 2008. It’s 2015 and she will take positions that are consistent with a long-time set of values that have made her a progressive in the best sense of the word.”
Clinton has been accused of shifting her views on issues such as same-sex marriage, immigration, Iraq and trade, while ramping up her concern for social equality in the face of a primary challenge from the independent Vermont senator Bernie Sanders and the threatened entry of Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren."
