They included a 2003 speech about championing “transparency and openness,” 2008 remarks about Wall Street being the “lifeblood of our state’s economy,” and her 2004 statement in support of the Iraq War resolution, warning Saddam Hussein to “disarm or be disarmed.”

Clinton, now running for the 2016 Democratic nomination, has also tried to soften criticism that she’s cozy with Wall Street and repeatedly said she made a mistake supporting the Iraq War.

The reel included Clinton’s not-so-long-ago speech opposing same-sex marriage, which she began to champion only after leaving the Obama administration.
