Sanders on Steyer’s 2020 Bid: ‘Tired of Seeing Billionaires Trying to Buy Political Power’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "We have a new candidate in the race, Tom Steyer, the billionaire who has made a cause of impeachment. What do you think about him entering the race with all of his money?"

SANDERS: "Well, you know, I have known Tom for a number of years, and I like Tom personally. But I do have to say as somebody who in this campaign has received two million campaign contributions, averaging, I believe, $19 a person, I am a bit tired of seeing billionaires trying to buy political power. So I like Tom. He’s a good guy. He’s a friend of mine, but I’m not a great fan of billionaires getting involved in the political process."
