So, Bernie spoke at an event sponsored by banks

http://www.dailynewsbin.com/news/bernie-sanders-just-gave-a-speech-sponsored-by-bank-of-america-will-he-release-the-transcripts/24088/

My, my.

So...

What was the purpose of the event? (What was the name of the event?)

And was Bernie paid to speak?

That article certainly is lacking in details.

ETA - I A BERNIE SUPPORTER WHO POSTED THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE OF AN ATTEMPTED SMEAR BY THE OTHER SIDE. Obviously, details were left out in an attempt to smear Bernie. (Check my posting history.)

pointing out the lack of details in the article and certain supporters' willingness to smear Bernie over nothing.

The article was originally posted in the Hillary group, where I'm not supposed to post.

to a post in the Hillary group, where a Hillary supporter attempted to smear Bernie with this. Notice, how the article is lacking in information?

Check my posting history. I've already had one thread closed in support of Bernie, although I've never had anything deleted...yet.

Understood. And I hear you regarding posting anything over there that is not 100% cheer leading for Hillary. I had one post removed from there already that I thought was pretty benign.

It's just that I've seen this line of attack a few times today and I just find it funny.

If you would have seen and heard me say it, you would have no doubt who I support!

My post was unclear; no need to apologize.

Peace!

An earlier post was hidden for linking that source. Citing a RW site doesn't help your credibility.

Where Bernie supporters are NOT supposed to post or get kicked out, so I asked those questions here in defense of my candidate!

These "sources" have become commonplace when used against Clinton.
