In Sanders’s 2006 campaign for the Senate, the Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee — heavily funded by Wall Street interests — helped
his bid with about $200,000 in contributions and ads, CNN reported over
the weekend.
Since he arrived in the Senate in 2007 and continuing through last
summer, Sanders has regularly hosted the DSCC’s retreats on Martha’s
Vineyard and in Palm Beach, Fla., for wealthy donors (including
lobbyists). Sanders also allowed the committee to do a direct-mail piece
signed by him, and his campaign has a joint fundraising agreement with
the Democratic National Committee, just like Clinton’s.
Sanders has often boasted that he doesn’t have a super PAC. But, as The
Post’s Matea Gold has noted, an ad hoc network working to elect Sanders
“is also employing professional political tactics, such as the use of
entities that can raise and spend unlimited sums.”
