Sanders To Hammer Buttigieg On Billionaire Donors

Politico reports:

“We are running all over this state, we’re talking to as many people as we can, we’re talking about what our agenda is,” Sanders said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday.

“We’re going to contrast our view with Mayor Buttigieg’s,” he said, adding that “one of the areas of contrast is at last count” Buttigieg had about 40 billionaire donors.

Asked by CBS’s Margaret Brennan whether that “matters,” Sanders responded, “It matters enormously, that is precisely the problem with American politics.”

Bernie Sanders criticizes Pete Buttigieg on Face the Nation’s pre-tape. “When you have the heads of large pharmaceutical companies contributing to your campaign, you are not going to aggressively deal with the fact that in some cases we pay 10 times more” for drugs than Canada.
