George And Amal Clooney Fundraiser: Couple Siding With Bernie Sanders Now? [VIDEO]
It looks like George Clooney might have had a change of heart here. Even though he's been a loyal supporter of Hillary Clinton and her Presidential campaign for the White House, he recently took the time to acknowledge her opponent Bernie Sanders and his criticism, even going as far as agreeing with him, too.
According to Naughty Gossip on Saturday, the Hollywood actor has finally admitted that the $353,000-per-ticket fundraiser that he and his wife Amal hosted for the former First Lady is an "obscene" amount of money to spend on dinner. Several reports indicated that the Clooneys charged the six-digit figure for anyone who wanted to sit at their table during their fundraiser for Clinton in San Francisco this past weekend.
For $38,000-per-ticket, party goers had the opportunity to eat dinner at the event and get their picture taken with Clinton, but they didn't have access to the Clooneys.
And now George himself says he gets what all the fuss is all about, while even siding with Sanders on the issue.
He said, "We had some protesters last night 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 big-screen star added, "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."
George Clooney hosted a similar fundraiser for President Obama back in 2012, but only charged guests $17,000 per plate.
