There are a lot of good billionaires out there that have been with Democrats, who share our values, and we will take their money,

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:

jacobin

salon.com

The Hill

Common Dreams

Thanks, no idea what the other guys problem was…

Besides, you know, not a single one saying what he said:

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

But you did link what originally spiraled in their head to become that.

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.

Someone link a couple sources were he said the phrase “good billionaires” so at least now I know what confused you.

And why you won’t actually link anything
