Lloyd Blankfein’s “dangerous moment” is another opportunity for Sen. Bernie Sanders to raise some cash.
A day after the Goldman Sachs CEO, a fellow Brooklyn native, said the Vermont senator’s presidential candidacy “has the potential to be a dangerous moment,” Mr. Sanders blasted out a fundraising appeal ripping Mr. Blankfein for Wall Street’s role in the 2008 financial collapse.
“I have to say, I find it a little beyond comprehension that Lloyd Blankfein would lecture our campaign about ‘dangerous moments’ after Wall Street received huge bailouts from the working families of this country, when their greed and recklessness caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, livelihoods, and homes just a few years ago. His arrogance has no end,” Mr. Sanders wrote, asking for a $3 contribution.
