During Monday’s broadcast of Sean Hannity’s nationally syndicated radio show, author Peter Schweizer explained how 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) funneled what he deemed to be “taxpayer money” and  “school money” to members of his family.

While discussing his new book, Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite, Schweizer said, “Bernie over the course of his 30-plus years in public office has final huge sums of money to his family. That includes hiring family members even when it was not justified in the Burlington city governments. But more specifically, the 2016 campaign, there was this mysterious media-buying company called Old Town Media that was set up.”

“They funneled $83 million through this media-buying company, which was located in a house on a cul-de-sac in suburban Virginia,” he continued. “Had no website, had no presence whatsoever. That company was run by two of Bernie Sanders’ wife’s friends. When she was asked about her connection or relationship to that firm, she hung up on a local Vermont reporter. So there are various ways taxpayer money, school money other things that have flowed to the family and have made the Sanders family very very wealthy.”

This is quite an accusation to make without really any proof

Yeah, Bernie's wife had a few shady deals when she worked with the schools.... She had no intention of standing in a bread line.

Except for the fact that we already know that commies are crooks, Bernie's a commie, and Bernie now has three homes, one a mansion... despite the salary discrepancy.   

Commies always enrich themselves with "other people's money".  If anyone chooses to deny those facts...

they're probably a crook too.    888mouth

I am not disputing that progressives like Bernie Sanders will never live the standard of living that they want to implement for the rest of us.

I’m just addressing this specific charge

There was the school Bernie's wife worked for.
It went into bankruptcy, but she made quite a bit of money off of it.

His wife was supposed to be indicted for what exactly I do not know, but I believe she absconded with funds from the university she was President.  After the election in 2016, when I thought we would be hearing about her going to prison etc, NOTHING happened.  The only news that came out was that Bernie was buying a mansion, and no further mention about his wife.

Could it be possible that HRC had something to do with his wife's charges going away and him having the funds to buy a mansion?  Any time something stinks to the high heavens, the Clinton Crime Family left footprints.

I AM SO TIRED OF THE CORRUPTION.  AND SANDERS BEING A COMMUNIST MAKES THE DEMOCRATS F(*&ING IDIOTS!!!!
