Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders supporters staked out Hillary Clinton’s George Clooney-hosted fundraiser in San Francisco and threw actual dollar bills at her motorcade as she drove by. They did so to decry the corrupting force of money in politics, but Clinton’s campaign has actively painted it as a misogynistic attempt to liken her to a “whore.”
This narrative likely stems from a comment made by Sanders supporter and prominent healthcare activist Dr. Paul Song at a recent rally. "Medicare-for-all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic whores who are beholden to big pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us,” Song told the crowd. Following the event, Sanders was forced to apologize, calling the statement "inappropriate and insensitive."
Now, a series of media commentators, echoing insinuations they have heard from Clinton’s campaign, lump those two incidents together to frame Sanders supporters as sexists who view the former secretary of state as a sex worker.
Playing footage of the protesters on Sunday, MSNBC commentator Joy Reid described “people throwing dollar bills as if in a strip club.” She added, “This coming on the heels of a Bernie Sanders surrogate having to apologize for using the term 'democratic whores' at the Washington Square Park rally.”

Barf alert is right.
I need some brain bleach.
Was it also “sexist” to throw money at the FIFA (soccer) official?
Criticizing bammy was called racist. Criticizing Her Royal Hipness will be called sexist.
MSNBC commentator Joy Reid described “people throwing dollar bills as if in a strip club.”
That’s called makin’ it rain honey, get with the times will ya?
If the shoe fits...
No one will buy that take on the dollar bill throwing. No one believes there is a chance anyone would pay for sex with that witch.
“Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders supporters staked out Hillary Clinton’s George Clooney-hosted fundraiser in San Francisco and threw actual dollar bills at her motorcade as she drove by.”
Its ok. They were throwing away someone elses money (literally).
Not even Laz would-— is that even possible?
The main point is a given. All they’re trying to do is reach a mutually satisfactory, negotiation. If they had thrown hundreds Hillary may have been out hoovering them up. The question is how low she’ll go.
It does make for great press.
Here’s a buck. Now bark like a dog.
Some of us strictly adhere to the Dire Straits philosophy, “ Money for nothin’ and the chicks for free”.
They threw money at a corrupt politician.
If they want to scream about sexism, they can scream about Ted Cruz’s fingerprints all over the Melania ad for Salt Lake City.
I will wait here while people twist themselves into a pretzel to lie and tell me I’m wrong.
She isn’t being “slut-shamed” as a paid whore, she is being called out for being “bought” which is worse. A whore or gigalo provides a service through their own labor for money, a thief takes what isn’t hers (public treasury) and sells it for money so it is fundamentally more dishonest.
You heard it here first, Hillary has less ethical behavior than a whore or gigalo.
Must be money from union dues. The rest of us no longer have money to fling into the air.
‘’l understand you’ve taken exception to my calling you whores. l’m sorry. l apologize. l ask you to note that l did not call you callous-ass strumpets, fornicatresses, or low-born gutter sluts. But l did say whores. No escaping that. And for that slip of the tongue... l apologize.’’

At $250,000 an hour she is one high dollar . . . . .
She's a whore of the worst kind. She sells out her nation to the highest bidder.
Glad her supporters brought it up.
Has anyone noticed any pro-Hillary postings on Facebook? Everyone I know on Facebook who is a Liberal is all in for Bernie. They HATE Hillary!
