Sanders campaign Co-Chair Nina Turner called former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg an 'oligarch' who is trying to 'buy' his way into the Democratic nomination for president during an MSNBC discussion before the Iowa caucus results on Monday.
A heated discussion took place on MSNBC Monday, after an official with the presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders labelled fellow candidate Mike Bloomberg an"oligarch" ahead of Iowa caucus results.
A seemingly surprised Matthews then asked Turner to confirm that she believes Bloomberg is an oligarch, typically defined as a member of a small and often very rich group of people who control government. The change was widely seen as beneficial to Bloomberg in particular, with the Sanders campaign calling it symptomatic of a"rigged system." Matthews asked Turner if she believed Bloomberg may have bought his way into the upcoming debate.
