On Friday night, Clinton flew to San Francisco for the first of two fundraisers hosted by George and Amal Clooney. Tickets at the head table went for over $350,000 per couple. On Saturday, protesters in California threw dollar bills at Clinton’s motorcade as she drove to one of the dinners. During an interview on “Meet the Press,” George Clooney admitted the amount of money he has helped Clinton raise was obscene.
George Clooney: “I think that—you know, we had some protesters last night when we—when we pulled up in San Francisco. And they’re right to protest. They’re absolutely right. It is an obscene amount of money. The Sanders campaign, when they talk about it, is absolutely right. It’s ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics. I agree completely.”
