Schweizer: Bernie Sanders Funneled Taxpayers, School Money to His Family
Breitbart ^ | 20 Jan 2020 | PAM KEY

Posted on 01/20/2020 4:31:27 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

During Monday’s broadcast of Sean Hannity’s nationally syndicated radio show, author Peter Schweizer explained how 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) funneled what he deemed to be “taxpayer money” and “school money” to members of his family.

While discussing his new book, Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite, Schweizer said, “Bernie over the course of his 30-plus years in public office has final huge sums of money to his family. That includes hiring family members even when it was not justified in the Burlington city governments. But more specifically, the 2016 campaign, there was this mysterious media-buying company called Old Town Media that was set up.”

“They funneled $83 million through this media-buying company, which was located in a house on a cul-de-sac in suburban Virginia,” he continued. “Had no website, had no presence whatsoever. That company was run by two of Bernie Sanders’ wife’s friends. When she was asked about her connection or relationship to that firm, she hung up on a local Vermont reporter. So there are various ways taxpayer money, school money other things that have flowed to the family and have made the Sanders family very very wealthy.”

Project Veritas' terrifying video.
Sander's Iowa field organizer makes one disturbing, authoritarian comment after another.
<><> Kyle Jurek talks about what will happen to supporters of President Trump,
<><> he labels Trumpsters “fascists” (stupidly unaware of the irony),
<><> deplorable Americans will need to be “re-educated,”
<><> govt-run trains will board at midnight,
<><> Sanders gulags renamed "reeducation camps."

The lovable old crazy Bernie thing is lie. He is a vicious little communist of the worst kind and would inflict absolute misery on all of us if he ever gets the chance.

Bernie is revealed to be nothing more than your garden-variety, lawless, money-grubbing socialist.

If Bernie were a Republican he would be forced to quit his campaign, but since he’s a commie no one will talk about this, wont even get a mention in the commie press

George Wallace ran for President three times, the last run being in 1976. He was asked why he kept running when he knew he would lose. His answer:

"Each time I run, I make a million dollars."

That would be about $4.5 million today

Sounds like Commie Bernie makes Wallace seem like a piker.

I have had it with these SOBs. String these bastards up. Even the old lady is a crook. They all get away with their crimes all the time.

If Crazy Bernie and Omar Ilhan get the nomination, I'd love it if something like this happened again.

Well, I doubt they would even take Minnie, but they’d probably take Vermont . . .

Washington is no longer about lawmaking, it’s about moneymaking for the elites!

The Democrats have understood this for decades. Look how rich Bernie, Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Obama, and Feinstein became while in congress.
