Wall St. donors tell Hillary's campaign how to attack Bernie, campaign obliges

The New York Times disclosed today that in a meeting held in a large Wall Street investor's office, big money donors instructed Secretary Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook to go after Sen. Bernie Sanders for offering so-called unrealistic proposals and by claiming that all his solutions are related back to "millionaires and billionaires."

Not surprisingly those are exactly the attacks that the Clinton campaign is now dutifully lobbing.

With no small amount of irony, the mega-donors also asked Mook to highlight the Clinton campaign's support from small donors.

Jeff Weaver, campaign manager for Bernie 2016 said, "One of the biggest differences between our campaigns is that Bernie’s campaign does not take its marching orders from Wall Street and big money donors. It's shameful that the Clinton campaign is parroting attacks at Sen. Sanders that The New York Times has documented come right from her big money backers. Now we are beginning to get a glimpse into what goes on in all those closed door meetings with Wall Street interests."

You just can't make this stuff up. They just keep proving over and over what we have been saying. Amazing.

The constant targeting of the so-called “millionaire and billionaire class” in this campaign is equally wrong and distasteful. This is no more acceptable than if any other minority groups had been targeted as evil doers responsible for everything that is wrong with the country. This is class warfare at its worst, and it must be denounced.
