In a taped interview with CBS News correspondent Ed O'Keefe that aired during CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a 2020 presidential hopeful, said that it's just "wrong" to label her a socialist.

Instead, Warren said that she is fighting to level the playing field and allow for more competition. "It is not capitalism to have one giant that comes in and dominates," she said, referring to large corporations that take up major swaths of their markets. She said that she is a capitalist who believes in markets, as long as they "have a cop on the beat."
