US Senator Elizabeth Warren waded into the 2016 Democratic primary battle by jumping to Senator Bernie Sanders defense in an interview with the International Business Times this week.

According to Politico, Bloomberg Politics asked Sanders to name an example of corporate greed, and he supplied Blankfeins name.

However, it took Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat who has yet to endorse anyone in the presidential primary, little time to fire back at Blankfein. She told the International Business Times that he thinks its fine to prosecute small business owners, its fine to go hard after individuals who have no real resources, but dont criticize companies like Goldman Sachs and their very, very important CEO thats what hes really saying.
Warren added, When Blankfein says that criticizing those who break the rules is dangerous to the economy, then hes just repeating another variation of too big to fail, too big to jail, too big even to prosecute. That tells you here we are, seven years after the crisis and these guys still dont get it.
