Sanders: Both parties 'largely corrupt'

[RandySF]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) took a swing at both political parties Wednesday, arguing they are “largely corrupt” and reflect the interests of billionaires rather than everyday Americans.

In an interview on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” with Bret Baier, Sanders was asked to explain the Democratic Party’s lackluster favorability ratings — and he pointed to the role money plays in politics and government.

“I’ll tell you why. People understand that the political system in this country is largely corrupt, both parties,” Sanders, who caucuses with Senate Democrats, told Baier.

“Why is that? You know the answer. The answer is that you have billionaires in both political parties [who] determine what legislation gets to the floor and who is the candidate,” the Vermont independent continued, referring to the hierarchical nature of legislative floor action and party politics in election cycles.
