couple of small but interesting political tidbits:
The Latest: Sanders slams Clinton for fundraising
Bernie Sanders is taking a jab at Hillary Clinton, pointing out to his supporters that she is raising money at a Philadelphia investment firm on Wednesday night instead of campaigning in Iowa. He says, “Frankly, I would rather be here with you.”
Clinton’s campaign responds that the former secretary of state also met with nearly 50 black ministers during her stop in Philadelphia “to discuss the issues important to the African-American community.” She held an event in Adel, Iowa, earlier in the day.
Clinton flew from Iowa to Pennsylvania on Wednesday to attend a fundraiser at the firm of Franklin Square Capital Partners. The event featured a performance by rocker Jon Bon Jovi.
Sanders was speaking to about 1,100 people in Mason City with five days remaining before the leadoff Iowa caucuses. He was introduced by actress Susan Sarandon, who said issues were more important than gender. She also took a swipe at Clinton, saying, “It’s one thing to be for gay rights and marriage when everyone else is for it.”
Bernie Sanders says he has no intention of going negative on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton even as the two remain in an increasingly tight race just days head of the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses.
Sanders was on Capitol Hill Wednesday after a meeting with President Barack Obama earlier in the day. He told reporters he has “never run a negative ad” in his life and will not do so against Clinton.
He says he’s proud of running a positive campaign.
Sanders also was asked about GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s decision to skip Thursday night’s Republican debate on Fox News, but did not respond as he walked away from reporters.
