That's kind of out of context. Here is the full line...
"But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay."
That certainly seems less sinister now, doesn't it? And if we take the full paragraph...
" When I was a Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented principled people who made their living in finance. But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in '06, '07 for doing something about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial system is essential. So when I raised early warnings about early warnings about subprime mortgages and called for regulating derivatives and over complex financial products, I didn't get some big arguments, because people sort of said, no, that makes sense. But boy, have we had fights about it ever since.”
I'm not seeing anything damning here. Do you?

But it's far more fun to just hear what you want to hear and leave out the boring stuff! (this took me far too long, I'm upset at myself)

I chuckled if it's any consolation.
