Bestselling author and self-help guru Marianne Williamson lit up Twitter after answering a question about gun safety which she ended by saying Americans only hear "yadda, yadda, yadda" when it comes to the Democratic Party's priorities.

In her answer, she abruptly pivoted to the influence of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, and defense companies, accusing her onstage rivals of taking money from them.

Then she said nothing would change unless there was a law establishing public financing of elections and said the Democrats risked losing the moral high ground unless they stopped accepting money from these industries.
