In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders takes Wall St. Money [View all]Bradical79
(4,490 posts)36. LOL, no
Yes, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee gave him $37,000 for his campaign in 2006 when they decided to back him, and also spent more of their money on advertising. About 8% of The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee funds came from Wallstreet. Never mind that the idea of them giving that money so Bernie Sanders could win an election is pretty laughable. So proportionally, I suppose about $3,000 of Wallstreet money ended up in Bernie Sanders' campaign funds that year, with another $16,000 or so being spent as part of DSCC's own advertising efforts. A bigger chunk of their funds came from the "Friend's of Hillary".
