Sen. Elizabeth Warren became teary-eyed when asking for forgiveness about getting “really worked up” during the Democratic debate.
“Sometimes, I get a little hot. I don’t really mean to. What happens is, when you do 100,000 selfies with people, you hear enough stories about people who are really down to their last moments,” she said on stage on Thursday in Los Angeles, California.
The 2020 presidential candidate from Massachusetts said she was on the campaign trail last week when someone from Nevada told her about his hardships living with diabetes.
“I met someone just last week in Nevada who said that he has diabetes, and that he has access to a prescription because he’s a veteran, but his sister has diabetes, and his daughter has diabetes, and they simply can’t afford insulin,” she said.
“So, the three of them spend all of their time figuring out how to stretch one insulin prescription among three people. When I think about what we could do, if we get a majority in the House, a majority in the Senate, and get back the White House, we could make this country work for people like that man. And that’s why I’m in this fight,” she said.
