He is politicizing a health crisis. And he is diverting the donations from his supporters to promote causes of his choice.

I gave this example before: imagine Trump diverting conntributions to his campaign to fund organizations like NRA and Republican National Coalition for Life. What would you say to THAT?

Exactly. That's what I am saying about Bernie's stunt.

If he sincerely wanted to raise money to help the COVID victims, he would have gotten out of politics and started a non-profit charitable organization. And he would have staffed it with competent professionals, not his political operatives.

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