haha! 3 Pinocchios to Jeff Bezos, worth $53 billion, a die hard libertarian and owner of the Washington Post.

She is steeped in oil money and Bezos doesnt like the truth. How many investments does Jeff Bezos have in oil & gas? Or perhaps he doesnt like the spotlight on the obscenely corrupt system of campaign finance which makes people like him masters of the universe as they buy and sell their puppets and tell people what to think.

And Bernie is also getting money from people in the oil industry. Not as much as Hillary but not a negligible amount. And of course, that assumes that what he's reported so far is accurate, which is kind of big leap to assume given the ongoing irregularities he's been having with donations.

Maybe, though I wouldn't put too much weight in the Washington Post article you linked.

Sander's fans do understand that this is a lie and that WAPO gave it 3 pinocchio's.

They don't care.


NOT to mention the fact - that oil and gas have never counted on Democrats in general. The vast, vast amount of their contributions are currently lining the coffers of Republican candidates.


THEY are the ones who are climate deniers.


That said - do I believe that we just *poof* do away with oil and gas tomorrow?


Hell no.

The fact check from WaPo was based on the total amount, not that she accepts money from Wall Street and big oil companies.

Funny how the Washington post ran 16 negative Sanders articles in less than 24 hours. Never mind the photo crap calling Bernie a liar when he was a part of protest in the 60s...........

Go to OpenSecrets.org. You will find that your assertions about Bernie are totally incorrect.
