Bernie Sanders raised more than one million dollars yesterday.

Amid dust-up with DNC, Sanders raises $1 million in a single day, campaign source says

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has seen an uptick in fundraising, bringing in more than $1 million on Friday alone, amid his campaign’s dust-up with the Democratic National Committee, according to a person directly familiar with the campaign’s finances.

Sanders on Friday was dealing with the fallout of a story that usually wouldn’t be considered good news: accusations that several staffers inappropriately accessed a DNC-controlled voter file and viewed proprietary information collected by the party’s front-runner, Hillary Clinton.

But Friday afternoon, the Sanders campaign went on offense against the DNC, claiming that it had vastly overreacted by shutting off the campaign’s access to the voter file -- including information that Sanders’s team had amassed itself.

Sanders’s campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, held a defiant news conference in Washington, where he claimed the DNC was actively undermining Sanders’s campaign, and then Sanders filed a federal lawsuit. (It was resolved -- at least for the time being -- early Saturday morning.)

....to show them support for their anti gay stand. And the bakery that made lots of money from the support of other like minded homophobes? Massive support in the arena of wrong doing, doesn't make it right, or righteous.
