Bernie Sanders blasts Michael Bloomberg's $30 million ad blitz, says he's 'disgusted'
Sanders also set himself apart from the billionaire candidate in the release, emphasizing the grassroots support and growth that his 2016 campaign had."If you can't build grassroots support for your candidacy, you have no business running for president," he said.
Sanders declared that the former mayor's late decision to join the race is mainly informed by the amount of money he can spend on his campaign. He advised that many voters will see through Bloomberg's efforts."The American people are sick and tired of the power of billionaires, and I suspect they won't react well to someone trying to buy an election," he said.
