Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders clashed over auto industry bailouts, guns and ties to Wall Street, as underlying tensions in the Democratic presidential race burst into the open at an impassioned CNN debate in Flint, Michigan.
The forum quickly turned into a heated philosophical argument about an economy that Sanders said is weighted against the middle and working classes and is abetted, he said, by close ties between politicians, such as Clinton, and Wall Street financiers.
Sanders accused Clinton of supporting "disastrous" trade policies that contributed to corporate America's decision to move manufacturing from cities like Flint to low-wage economies in Central America and Asia. But she in turn said that Sanders had refused to vote for a bailout for the auto industry.
Clinton also pressed Sanders on guns and accused him of being too close to the National Rifle Association. Sanders replied that Clinton's arguments would amount to a ban on the manufacture of guns.
The debate was followed by the premiere of the CNN original series “Race for the White House.” Post-debate analysis was to follow at 11 p.m. ET. Watch CNN.
