Bernie Campaign Slams Biden for High-Dollar Fundraisers
Newsmax ^ | 5/27/19 | Brian Freeman

Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders', I-Vt., campaign manager Faiz Shakir slammed Democratic primary front runner Joe Biden for the high-dollar fundraisers the former vice president has held since joining the race, using the criticism as a way to raise funds for Sanders' campaign, The Washington Free Beacon reported over the weekend.

Shakir wrote in a fundraising email to supporters that Biden "is raising huge sums of money at large fundraising events all across the country," describing them as "high-dollar functions hosted and attended by corporate lobbyists, healthcare executives, a Republican casino-CEO, and a union-busting lawyer."

He then said the only way to catch up was for many people to make small contributions to the Sanders campaign and suggested a $3 contribution from as many people as possible to help close the fundraising gap.

The Bernster has three mansions and has yet to be hired for a real job. Shaq should buy one of his books to find out how it's done.

Biden is closely following the Hillary Clinton playbook: concentrate on raising tons of money; stage tiny rallies; give short speeches, and avoid answering questions. He will also depend on the media and DNC to anoint him as the nominee just as Clinton did. He’ll then pick Harris, Buttboy, or the ever delusional Stacey Abrams (if she can be persuaded to step down as the imaginary governor of GA) as his running mate.

Bernie is only in it to get another payout for his support.

He’s really a capitalist by his actions.

Interesting - with the codifying of corporate monopolies Bernie has voted for over the years (that he now campaigns on solving - problems he made law himself), he's probably created some of those billionaires he claims can't buy him.

“Biden is closely following the Hillary Clinton playbook: concentrate on raising tons of money; stage tiny rallies; give short speeches, and avoid answering questions.”

hillary did because the more people saw of her, the more they disliked her ...

it’s even more imperative that Bidn do this because it’s quite evident that his mental capabilities have really taken a dive due to advancing age ...
