IS Bernie in the pocket of Big Teacher?

this is even more hilarious when you consider that the Onion did a piece satirizing this very thing years ago.

Sanders reported a fundraising total of $34.5 million dollars in the fourth quarter of 2019.

After saying that some of Sanders' donors were workers at Starbucks, Walmart, Target and the U.S. Postal service, Payne said one "little nugget" of information had him concerned.

"The most common occupation? Teachers," Payne said. "I mean, teachers are backing the socialist candidate? I mean, when you think about that, you have to ask yourself, what are they teaching our kids?"

Educators donate to his campaign now so that, when he wins, he will institute a $60,000 annual base salary for public school teachers!

What a slime ball!
