Vice President Joe Biden says that the fact he isn't rich shouldn't be held against him. This comment comes in the wake of Hillary Clinton’s numerous gaffes while discussing her financial standing.
"Don't hold it against me that I don't own a single stock or bond. I have no savings account. But, I've got a great pension and I've got a good salary," Biden said Monday.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, who has a net worth upwards of $50 million, said in an interview this weekend that she is "unlike a lot of people who are truly well off."
Hillary’s comments on wealth have been the target of criticism, even from the left. Howard Fineman called her "dead broke" comment "disastrous" and "offensive to even some Democrats." MSNBC’s Chuck Todd said that Hillary comes off as a "politician who perhaps only hangs out with millionaires and donors and feels poor by comparison."
