Feel the Bern…go out.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said it was “immoral” that members of the U.S. Senate were millionaires during a campaign in the 1970s.
Sanders’s remarks were published in December 1971 in the Bennington Banner, a Vermont newspaper, CNN reports. Earlier this month, Sanders revealed he was a millionaire.
Sanders’s presidential campaign acknowledged he made the comments.
“Yes, it is true: Senator Sanders said in the 1970s that it is immoral that the government too often represents the interests of the super-wealthy and large corporations—and yes, it is also true that Senator Sanders has continued to demand a change from that for his entire life,” campaign spokesman Josh Orton said.
