(1,349 posts)acceptable behavior. I expect these insults from Trump and the Republicans. I agree that is it unacceptable behavior by Bernie.
This is not an "excessive fee" it's how speaking fees work, Hillary wasn't paid "excessively either".
There are more of us who think that attacking the most admired man and woman in the country is something that is distasteful and offensive.
I don't much care for what Bernie is doing here. I especially found it offensive that he and Trump were attacking her on speaking fees when they found out about them due to her released tax returns that neither of them disclosed. If you're going to criticize others for something that isn't unethical or even questionable, then you would need to be open and honest yourself. Trump received speaking fees in greater amounts, Bernie is prohibited by law from accepting speaking fees while he is in office.
I think these cheap soundbites and unthinking attacks are distasteful, divisive and do nothing but hand ammunition to the Republicans while creating a narrative that the Democrats are somehow divided. He needs to stop.
