(28,791 posts)Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver brushed off the candidates 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 Marthas 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.
