"Do I Have A Problem With That, Ya I Do" - Sanders Slams Hillary's Clinton Foundation Conflict Of Interest

We have pointed out on numerous occasions that the Clinton Foundation has had some sketchy dealings to say the least (recently here & here).

In an interview with Jake Tapper, Bernie Sanders also said he has a problem with the foundation - the senator continues to hammer Hillary as he simply refuses to give up on his bid for Democratic presidential nominee.

"You asked me about the Clinton Foundation, do I have a problem when a sitting secretary of State and a foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign governments, governments which are dictatorships, you don't have a lot of civil liberties or democratic rights in Saudi Arabia. You don't have a lot of respect there for gay rights, for women's rights - do I have a problem with that, ya I do"

When Tapper asked if it creates a conflict of interest Sanders quickly responded with "ya I do, I do"

The Clinton Foundation has received donations from countries including Saudi Arabia, which has given between $10 million and $25 million to the foundation since it was created through 2014, although it allegedly stopped donating when Hillary was secretary of State The Hill reports.

Sanders shows no signs of letting up heading into the California primary June 7th, and these comments are further evidence the the campaign will continue to apply pressure to any and all pain points that Clinton may have. We do still hold out hope that Sanders, as it gets even closer to the end, will at least raise the issue of the Clinton Foundation giving $2 million to Bill's "Energizer" mistress just as one last thorn in Hillary's side. Although if Sanders doesn't mention it, there's a good chance that Trump will.
