CNN oped:

I don’t know you any better than you know Bernie Sanders, but I very much appreciate your recent effort in a Washington Post op-ed to publicly identify common ground with him about our “political and economic system that is often rigged to help the privileged few at the expense of everyone else.” I would like to attempt the same with you.

Many who share my political views will call you a hypocrite or worse, but as someone who sees daily attacks against my family that I view as slanderous, I have always been more inclined to allow that you are principally motivated by what you believe to be in the public interest, even if it often coincides with your financial interest.
