Elizabeth Warren: I have spent my whole life fighting for working families

Deaton: I come from extreme poverty living in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America. My mother was stabbed when I was six in front of me. For 2 years I was raped by a predator in the neighborhood. My best friend died in a drive-by shooting. The first day of high school I had a gun shoved in my mouth. A tiny Catholic high school gave me a chance and quite frankly saved my life.

Warren: I appreciate that John Deaton grew up in a really poor family and in a really difficult circumstance. And I have some sense of what it's like to listen to your mother cry because she can't pay the bills and worried you are going to lose your housing. I have spent my whole life fighting for working families. John Deaton, he takes care of himself first. Take a look at his tax returns. Worth what? Tens of millions of dollars, maybe $100 million and he couldn't find more than $56 to give to charity across two years?
