and yet I'll wager they will still send him more money and pretend this is no big deal as each time Bernie breaks with his supposed convictions they make excuses and try and justify it. Can't wait to hear the spin on this.

"The reports provide evidence that Bernie Sanders illegally used campaign funds for his overnight stay in Italy with 10 family members. Lodging at the 5-star luxury Hotel Boscolo Exedra in Rome, Italy was billed to the campaign in the amount of $13,758. Rooms at the luxury hotel start at $400 a night and go up to $8,000 a night. Additional expenses include $883 for lodging and catering at Hotel Michelangelo in Rome."

I dislike this man more and more each day. He has none of the convictions he purports to have.
