Bernie's book deal wasn't corrupt.


What?He got an $800,000 advance on his 1st deal.

quote:

The Sanders’ income, listed on tax returns they file jointly, increased dramatically. In 2016, they pulled in nearly $1.1 million—more than quadruple their previous year’s earnings of about $250,000. Around $800,000 of it came from the advance Sanders got for writing the hit Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In


quote:

Bernie doesn't favor special interests so no company has to pay him off.


Are you telling me he's never taken money from super PACs?

In 2016 Trump and Bernie were the only ones with no affiliated Super PACs

Since you can't control who donates to you he did receive a little over $8000 from those two Super PACs

An $800,000 advance isn't excessive given Bernie's popularity.

Bernie has taken money from the NRA in the past but he is a foe to big oil, Wall Street and arms manufacturers. Those corrupt industries are the big bribe payers.
