Bernie Sanders is not happy with Hillary Clinton's upcoming fundraiser featuring actor George Clooney and his wife, attorney Amal Clooney.
"It is obscene that Secretary Clinton keeps going to big-money people to fund her campaign," Bernie Sanders said in a recent CNN interview.
The event in question is a planned fundraiser between the star couple and Clinton.
A pair of seats at the head table are going for as much as $353,400.
Clooney, who's long been rumored to be considering a political run of his own, has been outspoken in his support for Clinton.
"I think the world of her, and I would be very happy if she were president," Clooney told Fusion.
It's a far cry from the kind of fundraising Sanders' campaign takes in -- thousands of small-money donations.
His campaign is funded almost 100 percent by campaign donations from individuals.
On the other hand, about one-fourth of Clinton's donations have come from super PACs and other groups.
Sanders is coming off a three-state sweep over the weekend, and the two candidates are now turning their attention to Wisconsin's primary. A recent Emerson poll showed Clinton with a 6 percent lead in the state.
