“It’s a major problem for Bernie Sanders,” Schweizer said. “He’s turned socialism into a profession that has generated a lot of money to his family.”

“Isn’t that what always happens?” Glenn asked. “I mean, everybody in charge of a socialist country, they walk away with billions, in some cases, and the people are left starving.”

“Yes, that’s exactly right,” agreed Schweizer. “It is a racket for Bernie Sanders. And the sort of austere image that he presents —kind of the John the Baptist of the progressive movement — it’s simply not true.”
