Sanders Supporters Throw $1,001 at Clinton Motorcade Going to Hollywood Fundraiser
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 17 April 2016 | Chandler Gill

During a protest against Hillary Clinton on Friday, supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) threw $1,001 in singles at Clinton’s motorcade as she was on her way to attend a fundraiser at the home of George Clooney, CNN reported.

The protestors said the demonstration was supposed to represent the absurdity of campaign finance laws and to protest the amount of money funneled into political campaigns by Wall Street and wealthy celebrities.

Once Clinton’s motorcade drove through the protest, Sanders’ supporters “danced in the street, stomping on the dollar bills.”

One protestor named Howard Gold explained he doesn’t support the former first lady because of her foreign policy views.

“She is the most militaristic of any of the candidates,” Gold, 56, said, citing Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. “I really think she is.”

The $1,001 were all single dollar bills, which were distributed to the protestors by Gold. His family founded the 99 Cents Only Stores.

Clinton’s campaign defended her celebrity-studded fundraiser by attacking Sanders, saying the Vermont Senator has only recently started raising money for Democrats while Clinton has done so for a long time.

“Hillary Clinton has made it a priority to raise money for Democrats up and down the ballot, and we’re grateful to everyone who supports the party,” said Christina Reynolds, a Clinton campaign spokeswoman. “We frequently hear about how much money Senator Sanders is raising; maybe he can send a few of those $27 donations to the DNC [Democratic National Committee] and state parties across the country to help the party he hopes to lead.”

They left are usually vulgar and violent with their protests, but they are occasionally funny and creative too

I'm surprised Hillary didn't stop the motorcade and order her Secret Service agents to get out and pick up all the dollar bills for her.

"If you want to remain on this detail, get your f**king a** over here and grab those bags!"

Hillary Clinton (as First Lady) order to a Secret Service Agent reluctant to carry her luggage in order to keep his hands free in case of a security incident.
From the book " The First Partner: Hillary Rodham Clinton” by Joyce Milton, page 25

A $1000 worth of play money would have made a better picture

the $1,001 would maybe have paid for one of her infamous (and hopeless) “beauty shop” appointments

The Europeans, French, German and Brit seem to be more creative...

A recent demo had a pair of demonstrators holding a large legible sign, handcuffed together; the sign read, holding up the handcuffs, "saving these for [HILLARY?]"

and after 8 were injured and 22 arrested as they scuffled to pick up the $1 bills. BTW, the event was not to raise money for Hillary, it was for other Democrats. something that Uncle BS does not believe in, team playing

Yeah - that will be a tough decision for Hillary what with Margaret Sanger, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Khrushchev, Mao, Pol Pot and Che Guevera dead, Fidel Castro close to it, and George Clooney under contract for 3 more films.

Maybe she will go with a black like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Bill Clinton.
