Sanders Says Americans Are Over Clinton's 'Damn Emails'

In what will likely go down as one of the most memorable debate moments of the 2016 race, Bernie Sanders told Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!"

Clinton shook Sanders hand amid raucous applause in what has been one of the few cordial moments between the two frontrunners in the Democratic presidential primary.

Before Sanders comment, Clinton offered her standard defense of the email controversy that has dominated much of her campaign.

"I've taken responsibility for it. I did say it was a mistake," she said.

Even though he admitted it might not be "great politics," Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) blasted the obsessive focus on Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during the Democratic debate Tuesday.

"The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails," Sanders said. The Democratic candidate then went on to list a series of issues including money in politics, trade policy and inequality that are more important than the former secretary of state's emails.

"Enough of the emails. Let's talk about the real issues facing America," Sanders said to loud applause in the debate hall. Sanders' campaign also quickly sent a fundraising email to supporters during the debate with a video of the Vermont senator's comments.
