Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has seen an uptick in fundraising, bringing in more than $1 million on Friday alone, amid his campaigns dust-up with the Democratic National Committee, according to a person directly familiar with the campaigns finances.
Sanders on Friday was dealing with the fallout of a story that usually wouldnt be considered good news: accusations that several staffers inappropriately accessed a DNC-controlled voter file and viewed proprietary information collected by the partys 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 campaigns access to the voter file -- including information that Sanderss team had amassed itself.
Sanderss supporters responded to the dispute by opening their wallets. By the end of the day Friday, the campaign had collected more than $1 million, the vast majority of it over the Internet, according to the person close to the campaign, who requested anonymity to more freely discuss a number that Sanders has not announced.

Instead he acted like this
He did what he should have done and my understanding is now at least 2 other people got fired. And he took action against the heavy handed and unfair way Derpy Whatta Schmuck (ty Scootaloo) acted.
