It was posted by someone I know on Facebook who doesn't miss any opportunities to slam Bernie.

Mostly I stay away from her stuff, but I couldn't resist this one.

Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver brushed off the candidate’s presence at the retreats, noting that guests did not only include financial services industry lobbyists, but also representatives of organized and other progressive constituency groups.

“These are not like Wall Street only events. They represent a much broader range of Democratic supporters,” Weaver told MSNBC.

A guest list obtained by MSNBC from the 2007 Martha’s Vineyard retreat does show a mix of attendees, though labor unions and constituency groups are a minority. “He certainly never lobbied or asked any financial people for money,” Weaver added.

Sanders was even once spotted chatting sociably for close to an hour with a financial services lobbyist who was in a hot tub while the senator sat nearby.


Stick a fork in him. He's done!

Some guests said they were surprised to see the populist crusader at these lavish events and suggested he was probably in it for the free vacation.
