As Sanders' own website says, he did not march next to King but merely attended King's DC speech, and stood "way in the back." Hillary actually personally MET King well before Sanders went to that speech.

And Bernie has certainly benefited as least indirectly from corporate donations. Bernie has gotten some corporate donations over the years related to Vermont-based businesses, and was more than happy to defend Lockheed Martin for F-35 boondoggle jobs in Vermont, so he could stay in office.
