While Bernie Was Talking About the Poor, Hillary Was Eating with the Rich - Protest at $350k dinner [View all]

Protesters at the big money Hillary donation dinner in San Francisco

While supportive Italians and visitors to Rome cheered on Bernie speaking to the issues of economic morality at the Vatican, protesters greeted the well-to-do who were willing to dump $350,000+ at a chance to eat with Hillary. If her $225,000 dollar speeches were good, you can only imagine how good the appetizer must've been for $350k!!
