Mike Malloy - $3,53 For Bernie
A top aide to Democratic presidential Bernie Sanders says a fundraiser hosted by actor George Clooney is only benefiting Hillary Clinton, not any down-ballot Democratic candidates.
“This fundraising arrangement that George Clooney and others have donated into believing that they’re giving money to the down-ballot candidates, two-thirds of that money is going actually to Hillary Clinton,” Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said on MSNBC on Monday.
“Only a third has been going to down-ballot candidates,” he added. "In addition to that, $15 million of that money has gone into other operations that primarily benefit only Secretary Clinton.
“It seems as it’s not working as it’s supposed to, which is to benefit the Party and down-ballot. Almost all of the money is going to Hillary Clinton.”
Clooney hosted two fundraisers last weekend, with an event Friday evening reportedly costing $353,400 a couple.
