New DNC chair believes in the party being owned by the “good billionaires” as he calls them.

I’d love a source on that

“There are a lot of good billionaires out there that have been with Democrats, who share our values, and we will take their money. But we’re not taking money from those bad billionaires.”

What a fucking joke.

Aka we are going to continue being funded and controlled by billionaires.

But…

Did he actually say that, and if so can you provide a source?

A cursory google search for ‘Ken Martin “Good Billionaires”’ comes up with stories from the following sources:

Yes.

You can actually do the bare minimum of effort yourself and Google the exact quote provided to find a clip on YT or anywhere else where he said that at the DNC forum and watch those words come from his mouth yourself.
