Top Moments From the <br />Democratic Debate in South Carolina The debate was marked by fiery arguments, <br />with the candidates shouting over <br />each other on several issues. Fresh off his win of the Nevada Caucuses, <br />Bernie Sanders faced attacks from <br />the other candidates on several fronts. Sanders was called out on <br />the complexity and cost of his <br />Medicare For All plan, as well as <br />his democratic socialist label. Former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg <br />faced further questions about his <br />record on "stop and frisk," his tax returns <br />and statements made to women employees. Racial red-lining, discriminatory <br />wages and housing were addressed <br />by several candidates, including <br />Biden, Klobuchar and Steyer. On the topic of marijuana, Sanders said he would <br />legalize it in his first 100 days while Michael Bloomberg <br />indicated he supported <br />decriminalization but not legalization. Asked the about severity of the coronavirus, <br />many of the candidates stated they would <br />restore funding of the CDC cut by the <br />Trump Administration. On several occasions, <br />former Vice President Biden <br />called out the moderators for cutting <br />him off at the end of his time. He also stated he would put a <br />black woman on the <br />Supreme Court if he was elected. When asked her motto, <br />Senator Warren quoted scripture<br />about treating each other with respect. Other topics addressed by the <br />candidates included the U.S. embassy <br />in Israel, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and<br />relations with North Korea. The intense debate was the tenth <br />and the final before the South Carolina <br />primary and Super Tuesday.
