Sanders once again slams Clinton’s ties to Wall Street
US Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has once again criticized his party rival former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her ties to Wall Street and wealthy corporations.
Sanders pressed his line of attack again on Sunday that “Wall Street and other special interests” support Clinton, the candidate who wants to bring “oligarchy” to the country.
“This is the issue of American politics today: Do we have a government that represents all of us or just the 1 percent?" Sanders said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"You’re not going to have a government that represents all of us, so long as you have candidates like Secretary Clinton being dependent on big money interests,” he added.
“Our tax returns show we made less money in a given year than Secretary Clinton did in one speech [to Wall Street firms],” Sanders said.
Sanders also criticized Clinton over fundraising on ABC's ‘This Week With George Stephanopoulos,’ calling into question whether big ticket fundraisers belong in the Democratic Party.
Clinton attended two fundraisers co-hosted by Hollywood actor George Clooney over the weekend in California. The price tag for a ticket to dine with her at the event was $34,000.
Sanders has repeatedly condemned America’s huge wealth inequality, lack of universal healthcare and a corrupt campaign finance system, drawing significant support for his presidential campaign.
He is now hoping to defy expectations in New York state’s primary elections on Tuesday, where the most recent polls showed him trailing Clinton by about 17 points.
