Sanders outraised Clinton in April after all

Hillary Clinton entered this month with a healthy $30 million in the bank, but her campaign did not take in more money than Bernie Sanders' in April, contradicting earlier assessments and calling into question suggestions that her fundraising had overtaken his small-dollar fundraising juggernaut.
Clinton’s main campaign committee directly received $25.1 million last month, compared with $26.9 million raised by Sanders’ campaign, according to reports filed Friday afternoon with the Federal Election Commission.

Sanders’ actual tally is slightly more than his campaign indicated earlier this month, when it put out a news release boasting of raising $25.8 million. A Sanders campaign source said the discrepancy resulted from the challenges of tallying huge numbers of small donations.

he would have outraised her 4 months in a row. How embarrassing would that have been? Of course the corrupt corporate owned MSM won't report this "error."

The queen's 👑 campaign lies about everything. They're some of the most corrupt and unethical people on the planet, so we need to continue donating to Bernie to keep her out of the WH!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
