Bernie has Goldman Sachs CEO running scared: Sanders’ candidacy is a ‘dangerous moment’
The head of a major banking firm is feeling the Bern but not in the way many of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders voters are.
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein said Sanders is tapping into class-based anger against growing inequality and called his candidacy a dangerous moment. Blankfein was speaking Wednesday on CNBCs Squawk Box, according to Politico.
It has the potential to personalize it, it has the potential to be a dangerous moment. Not just for Wall Street not just for the people who are particularly targeted but for anybody who is a little bit out of line, Blankfein said. Its a liability to say Im going to compromise Im going to get one millimeter off the extreme position I have and if you do you have to back track and swear to people that youll never compromise. Its just incredible. Its a moment in history.
In January, Sanders was asked to list examples of corporate greed, and he listed Blankfein, according to Politico.
