28. Trump Is Being Investigated for Using Charitable Funds...

Fri Feb 14, 2020, 10:41 AM

Feb 2020

...from a foundation for his own personal benefit. Bernie appears to use his charitable foundation for his personal benefit by using it to showcase himself politically and to funnel funds to his son in law for a six figure salary even though his son had no non profit experience.

If Bernie can’t respond to mild fact based criticism, then he should not be the nominee. Yet, the response is let’s not talk about it. Bernie himself has argued that foundations are fair game.

Bernie’s campaign has relentlessly attacked his rivals complete with charging his opponents of corruption (Biden) or liars (Warren). IF we can’t justify Bernie’s actions, then maybe he should not be the nominee.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
