Watch: Key Moments From November Democratic Debate
Ten presidential candidates took the stage in Atlanta to discuss topics including impeachment, climate change and foreign policy. Also, there were some jokes.
“No time to waste — let’s get right to it.” “First of all, we have a criminal living in the White House.” “The president felt free to break the law again and again and again. And that’s what’s happened with Ukraine.” “By the way, I learned something about these impeachment trials. I learned, No. 1, that Donald Trump doesn’t want me to be the nominee.” “We cannot simply be consumed by Donald Trump. Because if we are, you know what? We’re going to lose the election.” Black voters are pissed off and they’re worried. They’re pissed off because the only time our issues seem to be really paid attention to by politicians is when people are looking for their vote.” “At some point, folks get tired of just saying, ‘Oh, thank me for showing up,’ and want — and say, ‘Well, show up for me.” “I care about this because while I do not have the experience of ever having been discriminated against because of the color of my skin, I do have the experience of sometimes feeling like a stranger in my own country. Turning on the news and seeing my own rights come up for debate.” “I come out of the black community in terms of my support.

But what I said was true. Women are held to a higher standard. Otherwise, we could play a game called ‘name your favorite woman president.’” “But I want to get back to Pete Buttigieg and his comment about experience.” “I think experience should matter.” “If your question is about experience, let’s also talk about judgment.” “We have to rethink the entire ‘war on terror.’” “It’s a state of emergency.” “Abortion rights are human rights.” “If you win the 2020 election, what would you say in your first call with Russian president Vladimir Putin?” “First I’d say, ‘I’m sorry I beat your guy.’” “In my first Senate race, I literally called everyone I knew and I set what is still an all-time Senate record.
