## Transcript

I'm very proud of the campiangn we ran in 2016. You now, we started at 4 % of the polls. We ended up winning 22 states, 13 million votes. I think we changed the nature of political discourse in this country raising issues that are kind of now mainstream which were then considered extreme and fringe. But when our campaign grew from, I think we started with three or four paid employees. And over a period of a few months as the campaign exploded, we went up to, I think, 1, 200 employees. And I am not gonna sit here and tell you that we did everything right in terms of human resources, in terms of addressing.

The needs that I'm hearing from now that women felt disrespected, that there was sexual harassment, which was not dealt with as effectively as possible. What I will tell you is that when I ran for re- election in 2018 in Vermont we put forward the strongest set of principles. In terms of mandatory training, in terms of, if they felt harassed, having an independent firm they can go to. And I think that's kind of, you know, the gold standard for what we should be doing. So I certainly apologize to any woman who felt that she was not treated appropriately. And of course, if I run, we will do better next time.

Yes, I was a little bit busy running around the country trying to make the case.
