Today as a @BernieSanders nominee on the @DNC Rules Committee I proposed an anti-corruption amendment to ban corporate PAC money to the DNC, and to ban corp lobbyists from serving on the DNC. The Biden camp recruited a corp lobbyist on the Rules Cmte to speak against it, then...
...virtually all Biden nominees on the cmte voted to “table” the anti-corruption amendment to try and kill it without having to go on the record. BUT the @BernieSanders nominees on the cmte revolted behind the scenes and we won a motion to get a recorded up or down vote...
Many Biden nominees abstained but 105 of them are now on the record opposing this anti-corruption amendment. I believe every @BernieSanders nominee supported it. Thanks to all real progressives for having my back and fighting against corporate corruption.
