Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) criticized venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz on Wednesday for reportedly pouring massive funds into politicians in the ongoing election cycle.
Sanders Laments ‘Broken’ Campaign Finance
Sanders took to X to express his concerns about the influence of big money in politics.
He specifically called out Andreesen Horowitz, a Silicon Valley firm with over $100 billion in assets, for spending more than $115 million in the midterm election efforts, according to a New York Times report.
Sanders said Andreessen Horowitz was trying to “buy politicians” who oppose regulating artificial intelligence and the cryptocurrency industry, deeming it a sign of a “broken” campaign finance system.
“End Citizens United, ban Super PACs & get Big Money out of politics-NOW,” the independent lawmaker said.
Andreessen Horowitz didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment.
