I was disappointed to see Sanders play the anti-Semitic card over this. He's very uncomfortable talking about his wealth and assets. You could see it big time in that Fox town hall he did a month ago or so. His behavior there was deceptive.

I think the fact he feels any shame about it at all is a good thing, unlike all these billionaires that have been running for president

Agreed but when you cross the line into deception you're just another career politician or desperately afraid of being labelled a millionaire. On Fox he tried to claim he's not a millionaire because he brought in less than 1 million in 2018 (or maybe it was 2017), ignoring all of his existing assets like 3 houses. Total career politician move.

I'm not trying to lump everyone into good and not good, I'm just disappointed in him. I've still got his damn Birdy sticker stuck to my car. It was cheap and melted on.

I'm sorry. I also had a lot of hopes for him but he is full of contradictions. Jason brought his supposed Anti-war record the other day, for example.
