George Clooney is hosting a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton on April 15 where seats at the head table cost $353,400 a couple The next night, another fundraiser will be held at Clooney's Los Angeles home and tickets are $33,400 each On Sunday, Bernie Sanders called the two fundraisers 'obscene' in an interview on CNN
'The people coming to this event have undue influence on the political process,' Sanders said Most of Sanders' fundraisers are '$15 or $50', he said
'It is obscene that Secretary Clinton keeps going to big-money people to fund her campaign,' Sanders said on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday.
'I have a lot of respect for George Clooney. He’s a great actor. I like him,' Sanders continued. 'But this is the problem with American politics … Big money is dominating our political system. And [my supporters and I] are trying to move as far away from that as we can.'
'So it’s not a criticism of Clooney. It’s a criticism of a corrupt campaign finance system, where big money interests - and it’s not Clooney, it’s the people coming to this event - have undue influence on the political process.'
Bernie Sanders took a shot at Hollywood on Sunday, calling two upcoming Hillary Clinton fundraisers organized by George Clooney 'obscene'.
The actor is hosting a fundraising dinner for the Democratic candidate in San Francisco on April 15, where two seats at the head table with Clinton, Clooney and his wife Amal cost $353,400.
The following night, Clooney is hosting yet another event at his home in Los Angeles where tickets are $33,400 each.

Go Bernie!!!!!!!
Clooney is personally obscene, but I don’t think that is what Bernie is talking about
Oh my, how appropriate to see both this and the article on celebrities’ homes appear shortly after the other. So we can learn about the lives of these wealthy clowns who honestly think that they always know better.
It is called money laundering and graft.
Hilda defense fund....how stupid do you have to be to “donate”
to money grubbing b*tch like her
For the real “donations,” check to see what they gave Clinton Foundation.
If nothing else, Bernie may make some of the rank and file socialists in the democrat party wonder about their leaders like Hillary Clinton, who profess to be “fighting for them” but like to spend more time selling themselves to rich people.
Which one of his homes? He prefers Italy...my wife thinks it’s so romantic he bout a pazzio there for his new bride. And after I just splurged on a super size Micky D’s when she said it.
Bernie is wrong on most things, but he’s right about liberal hypocrisy.
Sanders and his campaign are driven by envy, resentment and hate. He hates the idea that anybody would have that kind of money.
Hey Bernie, BREAKING NEWS, the game is fixed!
Menu by Gwyneth Paltrow?
Bernie is a socialist. But he is no more turned off by such money raising events than I am. Pay the price of a car to attend such an event?
“Bernie Sanders calls George Clooney’s $33,400-a-ticket Hillary Clinton fundraiser ‘obscene’ “
Well, if he’s right, at least we know Bill will be there.
Well, it is. But Bernie, isn’t it enough that they feeeeeeeeeeeel for the poor folks?
LOL!
How does Clooney or any of the Hollywood elite find time to do these things between all the “Just Look How Good I Am” awards shows that go on infinitum...
Filthy capitalist dollars! Oh, no!
We know Comrade Bernie never touches the stuff. /s
Utter nonsense and a complete waste of money.
