He rails against the rich, and owns three houses. He&#8217;s just a poor Socialist, worth over $2,000,000. How many times has he railed against Donald Trump&#8217;s supposed misuse of campaign funds, the Trump family accepting tainted payments&#8221;\u00a0 and such?<\/p>\n<p>Fox News has an interesting article on Mr. B.S. &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Vermont\u00a0Sen. Bernie Sanders\u00a0quietly funneled $200,000 from his campaign&#8217;s coffers to his wife&#8217;s nonprofit institute, which appears to do very little work and pays six figures&#8217; worth of compensation to her son, Fox News Digital has found.<\/p>\n<p>The independent senator&#8217;s committee cut two $100,000 checks to the Sanders Institute for reported charitable contributions in January and March, its Federal Election Commission records show. The expenditures are the largest from the Sanders campaign to any entity this election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The tax documents indicate that the progressive lawmaker&#8217;s stepson is the big winner of the operation. In 2021, the institute raised $716,618 and drove $257,000 into wages, including $152,653 in salary and other compensation to Driscoll, who acts as its executive director. He identifies the role as his primary job on his LinkedIn profile after previously working outside the political world as the global director of team and media for Burton Snowboards.<\/p>\n<p>And despite Jane Sanders&#8217; insistence she wanted to support other\u00a0progressive organizations\u00a0at the time of its launch, her institute has failed to do so \u2014 at least monetarily. The nonprofit reported no grants to other liberal groups in its tax records from 2021.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/bernie-sanders-funneled-200k-campaign-195507643.html\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The full article is more interesting than the cherry-picked excerpts above.
