Attack of the Fanboy
Senator Bernie Sanders is pushing Democratic leadership to implement a ban on super PAC involvement in party primary elections.
Sanders has been a vocal supporter of candidate Abdul El-Sayed, a physician who is currently running as a Democrat.
He added that these groups are more focused on specific agendas than the success of the Democratic Party as a whole.
“What is particularly obscene is not only the outrageous amount of money coming into Democratic primaries from billionaire-funded super PACs, but the reality that these special interests have no particular desire to see Democrats win,” Sanders wrote.
My message to Democratic leaders: Ban super PACs from Democratic primaries NOW.
