Jess McIntosh, a former aide to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders for what she suggested was a hypocritical response to concerns over his own financial success amid his campaign's populist messaging.
McIntosh's comments came after a Fox News townhall in which the Sanders defended the profits he made from his bestselling book as the result of his own success. "His message is capitalist!" McIntosh told CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday.
“He’s literally saying ‘I made a product the market wanted, and I got rich off of it, and you can do that too,'" she added. Sanders, among other 2020 Democrats, received a wave of criticism after a series of financial disclosures revealed just how much money they made in previous years.

Did Hillary’s campaign get the townhall question in advance again this election?
He’s literally saying ‘I made a product the market wanted, and I got rich off of it, and you can do that too,’” she added.

OMG! How horrible! That anyone could even THINK that!
No, the inner party elite are entitled to perks and wealth. All inner party socialists believe that they deserve all the perks the regular proles dont get.
Surprise: all socialists love money. They’re all closet capitalists. Socialism is the easiest way to take money from others without working for it.
NOBODY wanted Hillary’s books. HAHA
Capitalism -The Rich Become Powerful
Socialism - The Powerful Become Rich
Why is Sanders a capitalist? he accepted PAYMENT for a service!
SERVICE: hand over the Dem nomination to Hitlery
PAYMENT: $2.5 million dollar house asap after Hitlery nominated!
Her ghostwriter was bored to even go over the proofs while Hillary was concentrating on 40 proof booze.
“It was then I realized my greatness wasn’t appreciated by the cheap deplorable rabble who would soon incredibly vote for Trump.”
Bernie’s new theme song “Won’t Get Fooled Again”
I’ve heard liberals argue that fascism represents the merging of state and corporation. This is so they can make institutionalized capitalism appear like fascism. But at the same time they argue that corporations should be collectively owned, as with socialism. But what that results in is merging of state and corporation, their definition of fascism. Capitalism in its proper form cannot be institutionalized, however. It represents the separation of state and corporation.
It is hard to tell satire or real news lately.
There is always Capitalism. It’s just a matter of how the Capital is distributed. In the Soviet Union, Capital was in the hands of the State.
Yeah, and then you just have the merging of wealth and power. They’re better when kept separate. It’s a conflict of interest. Why can’t socialists address this one important flaw in their system?
‘I made a product the market wanted, and I got rich off of it, and you can do that too,”
I think he sold 20,000 of his book. Not enough to be a millionare from book sales. He DID get a huge advance, I think 500K, but that won’t buy you three houses.
Heretic! Bern him at the stake!!!
Bernie Sanders’ books, released in 2015 and 2011, have not reached the numbers of Clinton, Carson, Trump, or Cruz, yet he remains ahead of Kasich and Rubio in terms of overall sales at 28,800 units sold compared to Kasich’s 21,000 and Rubio’s 17,500. Sanders’ most recent book Outsider in the White House (2015) also published around the time of the election book craze with Penguin Random House to little results, though he maintains momentum against Clinton in the polls.
So he claims 1.7 million from sales of 28,000, that’s a profit of about $60 per book going to Bernie.
Exactly! Ugg gives Ogg a mammoth ham for a basket full of flint spear points. Capitalism!
or ...
Windfeather gives Treebird a dream catcher she made for a plate of soy-carob cookies that Treebird made. Capitalism!
How dare Comrade Bernie promote that he “made a product” and “got rich off of it” while simultaneously saying we should live under Socialism/Communism. If he believes in The Cause, he should liberate himself of all that dirty money.
