Andrew Yang says Clinton criticism of Gabbard 'inappropriate'

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang says it's "inappropriate" for 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to be "commenting directly" about her party's current contenders for the White House. Yang also called the push to eliminate private insurance by rivals Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, as part of their "Medicare-for-all" plans, "too disruptive." And the tech entrepreneur and 2020 longshot, who has seen his campaign soar in recent months, said that if he doesn't win the Democratic nomination, he'd "be open to" serving as running mate. Yang made his comments while taking questions from reporters Tuesday evening in Hollis, N.H., and Wednesday morning after headlining'Politics and Eggs,' a must stop for White House hopefuls campaigning in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state. Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang signs the famed wooden eggs ahead of speaking at'Politics and Eggs' at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2019 His swing through the Granite State comes days after Clinton firmly inserted herself into the 2020 campaign – arguing without evidence that Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii is a "Russian asset," and mocking President Trump's direct interactions with foreign leaders.
