...when the money goes to other candidates than him. The article is calling out the hypocrisy of Senator Sanders and his supporters for denigrating other candidates for receiving money from these organizations while being fine with it when the money goes to themselves.

Like Sirota writing articles about how Rep. O'Rourke 'got money from Big Oil', when it was in fact the ordinary workers in the oil industry donating (not to mention throwing whatever shred of journalistic integrity he might have had left on a bonfire for writing articles that smeared Senator Sanders' opponents while being in negotiations to join his campaign.) The hypocrisy, it burns, but it seems that they are as shameless as those in the government these days.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
