We had some protesters there last night when we pulled up in San Francisco, and they’re right to protest, ” Clooney responded. “For the Democratic Party that means an emphasis on getting more working people, young people, in the political process, dependents on small campaign contributions, not big money the way Secretary Clinton is raising it”.

The Sanders supporters blasted “Hail to the Chief” and “We’re in the Money” as Ms Clinton drove by, and once she passed, the group danced in the street, stomping on the dollar bills.
Jeffrey Katzenberg hosted Hillary Clinton at his home on Saturday afternoon in a prelude to an evening fundraiser at the Studio City residence of George and Amal Clooney, according to a source close to the event.
We wondered whether an overwhelming amount of the income raised for Clinton really goes to other Democrats. “I hope she wins a Senate because honestly we see what happens when a President tries to get their Supreme Court justice confirmed without the Senate”. Others reportedly paid upward of $100,000 to snap a selfie with Clinton and Clooney at the event, which took place at the home of venture capitalist Shervin Pishevar. “But this is the problem with American politics…”
Mr Sanders said he appreciated Mr Clooney’s honesty, but that he was backing the wrong horse.
Clooney and his wife Amal hosted a duo of high-dollar fundraisers for Clinton this weekend in California.
“I’ve been a very big fan of hers”, the Hollywood heartthrob said of Clinton, the Democratic presidential frontrunner, in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press. They’re absolutely right. It is an obscene amount of money. The odd number is representative to the average amount of contributions to his campaign, Sanders has said.
In Los Angeles, Clinton challenged Sanders on gun control, an issue that is a key part of her argument against him in the NY primary and is likely to play a role in the California primary on June 7. A donation to the “Victory Fund” is split between Clinton’s primary campaign, her possible general campaign, the Democratic National Committee and various Democratic state parties. Bernie Sanders is right to criticize the fundraisers. Sanders says the meeting took place Saturday morning before the pope left for his one-day visit to Greece.
