George Clooney Hosts $343K Per Couple Fundraiser for Hillary
4.18.2016 News Sarah Fisher
"It's ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics," says Clooney
George and Amal Clooney hosted a pricey fundraiser for former secretary of state Hillary Clinton on Friday night in San Francisco, charging $353,500 per couple.
He [Clooney] told Meet the Press that Bernie Sanders’ supporters showed up to protest outside the event, and that he agrees with them on at least one point.
“The Sanders’ campaign, when they talk about it, is absolutely right,” he said. “It’s ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics. I agree.”
“George Clooney, in short, ‘I am the problem,’” Pete Hegseth concluded.
On Saturday night, the Clooneys hosted another fundraiser for Clinton at the couple's Los Angeles house but with a smaller price tag: a mere $33,400 per person. Co-hosts contributed $50K and event co-chairs contributed $353,000.
Sanders supporters hosted a rival fundraiser just down the street from Clooney's house charging $27 a head.
Writes ABC News, "About 100 Sanders supporters -- who were part of a counter-fundraiser being held down the street at the home of Howard Gold, whose family founded the 99 Cents Only chain -- filled the street outside Clooney's home."
Once Clinton's motorcade arrived, Sanders supporters held high signs that read "Feel the Bern! Only $27" -- a reference to the cost of the counter-fundraiser -- and "Goldman Sach's Loves Hillary. Feel the Bern."
Some supporters also showered her motorcade with money, an apparent jab at Clinton's perceived close relationship with Wall Street.
Said Clooney on Meet the Press: "We had some protesters last night when we pulled up in San Francisco and they're right to protest. They're absolutely right," George said on NBC's Meet the Press in an interview that aired Sunday. "It is an obscene amount of money."
