TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Michael Bennet
SCENE: Sen. Bennet leaves a photo-op with a constituent just off the Senate floor — a photo shoot Ask a Pol waited through, because Bennet is often impossible to get cause he’s always on his phone (seemingly talking to donors…) — and is asked about SAFER Banking by Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo.
Michael Bennet: “See you later then.”
Woman: “Thank you.”
Matt Laslo: “Senator, real quick on the SAFER Banking Act…”
Bennet is hurried, as always, but stops.
