Bernie’s getting vetted now and Politifact said 47% of the statements they tested are various grades of lies. We know he vote to deregulate Wall Street twice as well as the gun industry. So he’s been getting popped pretty hard lately.
All of that drip...drip..drip is catnip compared to this breaking CNN story:
CAUGHT IN THE ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY
“Bernie Sanders complained on the campaign trail Friday that dialing for dollars "affects your entire being."
What he didn't mention: The Vermont senator and presidential candidate is a prolific fundraiser himself and has regularly benefited from the Democratic Party apparatus.”
HMMM I THOUGHT HE JUST HAD SMALL DONORS
“In recent years, Sanders has been billed as one of the hosts for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's retreats for the "Majority Trust" -- an elite group of top donors who give more than $30,000 per year -- at Martha's Vineyard in the summer and Palm Beach, Florida, in the winter. CNN has obtained invitations that listed Sanders as a host for at least one Majority Trust event in each year since 2011.
The retreats are typically attended by 100 or more donors who have either contributed the annual legal maximum of $33,400 to the DSCC, raised more than $100,000 for the party or both.
Sanders has based his presidential campaign on a fire-and-brimstone critique of a broken campaign finance system -- and of Hillary Clinton for her reliance on big-dollar Wall Street donors. But Sanders is part of that system, and has helped Democrats court many of the same donors.”
IT GETS WORSE
1. Sanders attended a fundraiser at the Cambridge, Massachusetts home of Abby Rockefeller -- a member of the same family whose wealth he had once proposed confiscating.”
2. Two years later, when then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama was being nominated at the Democratic National Convention in 2008, Sanders was among the senators who met with Sen. Chuck Schumer's "Legacy Circle" donors who had given the legal maximum to the DSCC five years in a row or $500,000 over their lifetimes.
3. He paid dues to the DSCC, too, with his Progressive Voters of America political action committee cutting checks for $30,000 to the group during the 2014 election cycle.”
BERNIE WASN’T THE VISITOR, HE WAS THE FREAKING HOST
He thus has close financial ties to:
- Majority Trust (Martha’s Vineyard and Palm Beach)
- DSCC
- Abby Rockfeller
- Legacy Circle
Really “Palm-Beach” Bernie?
Is that why you voted to deregulate Wall Street twice?
How much money have you taken from these guys for years?
Why did you take all of that money in 2006 from the DSCC when CNN said the top donors were:
“Goldman Sachs at $685,000, Citigroup at $326,000, Morgan Stanley at $260,000 and JPMorgan Chase & Co. at $207,000.”
Why weren’t you talking revolution then---you know, small donors and all. You sucked from the same Wall Street tit as everyone else and that makes you a total hypocrite.
Can we quit pretending now?
