So it begs the obvious question: Why does Bernie Sanders hate it so much? Brennan brought up the topic during the interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brennan used her last question to confront Sanders about his hypocrisy in her sit down: <strong>&#8220;you&#8217;re going on tour to promote this book &#8216;it&#8217;s okay to be angry about capitalism.&#8217;<\/strong> And you&#8217;re here talking about it. I understand we&#8217;re not the bad guys you&#8217;re describing in the book when it comes to media,<strong> but tickets for your tour apparently are selling for $95 on TicketMaster.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She pointed out that Sanders&#8217;s use of TicketMaster was hypocritical. &#8220;some of your [fellow] Democrats are criticizing them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brennan asked Sanders straight: <strong>&#8220;aren&#8217;t you benefitting yourself from the system that you&#8217;re trying to dismantle?&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sanderson was able to ignore any double standards. &#8220;those decisions are made totally by the publisher and bookseller. I think there&#8217;s one case where in one place here in Washington, Politics and Prose, an independent bookstore charging some tickets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also denied that he made any profit from the ticket and book sales which is highly questionable. &#8220;I don&#8217;t make a nickel out of these things,&#8221; Sanders claimed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Below is the transcript.

Although we are not the bad guys you describe in the book, tickets for your tour appear to be selling for $95 at TicketMaster. Which is accused in anti-competitive behaviour. You already know this. Some of your Democrats are critiquing them. Don&#8217;t you see yourself as benefitting from the system you want to destroy?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: These decisions are completely made by the bookseller and publisher. One case, Politics and Prose in Washington, is where an independent bookstore charged tickets. They range in price from $40 to $50 and include a book. You&#8217;ll need to pay $40 if you wish to attend. I will give you the book at no cost. We are doing many events for free. However, I don\u2019t make a dime from these events.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>BRENNAN\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SANDERS: No not particularly, but that&#8217;s again\u2014I have nothing to do with that. This is because if you were to write a book, it would likely be the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>BRENNAN\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SANDERS : I do.
