What is a Corporate Whore? Politico:
Hillary Clinton's campaign on Thursday demanded that Bernie Sanders disavow the remarks of a surrogate who used the phrase "corporate Democratic whores" on Wednesday night during the Vermont senator's rally in Washington Square Park.
Speaking to a crowd estimated around 27,000 people, health care activist and physician Paul Song ripped into those who, like Clinton, insist on a more incremental approach to reforming the health-care system.
"Medicare-for-all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic whores who are beholden to big pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us,"
So obviously, Song has apologized for this characterization but it begs the questions:
- Obama took took the incremental approach to healthcare and massive money from corporations; is he the “whore?”
- If Nancy Pelosi and every democrat who fought for decades to pass the best healthcare program they could the whores?
- Is Mark Zuckerburg, Bill Gates, Al Gore corporate whores?
- Am I a corporate whore for the different Fortune 500 companies I gladly worked for in my early career?
- Is Bernie Sanders a corporate whore for taking millions of individual contributions from the “employees” of major corporations?
The Bernie Sanders campaign is really making me tired.
