The report also claims Sanders’s wife directed nonprofit funds to a connection in the Caribbean. BY TINA NGUYEN A new report suggests that Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders and his wife have repeatedly done the most socialist thing ever: funnel thousands of campaign and nonprofit dollars toward family members and friends.
According to an investigation by the right-leaning Washington Free Beacon, Sanders’s spouse of 27 years, Jane O’Meara Sanders, and his stepdaughter, Carina Driscoll, both drew sizable salaries from Sanders’s House campaigns between 2000 and 2004. Public records examined by the online paper reportedly show O’Meara Sanders was paid “more than $90,000 for consulting and ad placement services†between 2002 and 2004, while Driscoll received $65,000 from the campaign over the course of four years.

Hillary taking out Bernie before Iowa.
There will be no more obama upsets
Hillary needs to smear Sanders, I guess....
So typical. Money money money. Politicians are all corrupt. Trump is the only one I trust.
Vanity Fair is total Clinton but its not the first time....his wife defrauded a college.
Only $90,000 and $65,000? That’s a crime.
They need to talk to the Clintons. Add a couple 0’s and you can say you’re saving the world.
I'm shocked to hear this.
Comrade Bernie and wife are skimming FILTHY CAPITALIST DOLLARS!!?
I thought real socialists never touch the stuff!
;^)
Doesn’t Chelsea get a $600,000 a year allowance for doing her chores at the Clinton crime foundation?
Not doubting for a moment that Sanders and spouse are typical Socialist kleptocrats. But the timing of this report reeks of a Sid (Vicious) Blumenthal operation. Vanity Fair is second only to either the NYT or Atlantic Monthly as a medium to reach the coastal leftists who are starting to realize just how bad a candidate Hillary really is and considering dropping all pretense to go Full Monty socialist with Bernie.
Vanity Fair has long been an arm of the Clinton Criminal Enterprise. Obvious plant piece designed to do some of Hillary’s dirty work.
Communist dictators do not discern between public and private monies.
Geez. That’s the reason most of the minor candidates like Huckabee and Santorum stay in the race!
Beat me too it. People ask, why do these minor candidates with no chance in hell to get the nomination stay in the race? Well, there is always a sucker out there ready to contribute money you can funnel to family and friends. Just ask Alan Keyes, the guy has made a good living off this for thirty years.
They will just blow it off saying it is Republican misinformation.
Well, someone has to make sure the nonprofit doesn’t turn a profit.
The Sanders: doing the socialism other people won’t.
That was my first reaction, that’s all?
