George Clooney's response when asked to respond to Bernie Sanders' statement that the $353,400 price tag to sit at the table with Clooney and Hillary Clinton was obscene, The Hill, April 26, 2016
“
Yes, I think it's an obscene amount of money. You know we had some protesters last night when we pulled up in San Francisco – and they're right to protest, they're absolutely right, it's an obscene amount of money. The Sanders campaign, when they talk about it, is absolutely right, it's ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics, I agree.
