'Antitheses of your brand'? Bernie Sanders thanks hedge fund manager Alan Grayson for endorsement

Rep. Alan Grayson is under House Ethics Committee investigation for a hedge fund he ran that was located in the Cayman Islands, but with Hillary Clinton’s lead widening, Bernie Sanders will apparently take any endorsement he can get:

I hereby endorse @BernieSanders to be our Democratic nominee for President of the United States. #FeelTheBern https://t.co/mIzcqnAMB9

Thank you @AlanGrayson for your endorsement!https://t.co/CURs0tfCWR

Given Sanders’ campaign platform it’s more than a little comical:

Yep, even Sen. Reid has called Grayson “disgraceful” and accused him of having “no moral compass,” but Sanders must really want that endorsement.

Just remember that Grayson is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee for his business dealings. https://t.co/tjNkm5Exit

@BernieSanders it seems that @AlanGrayson's brokerage shadiness is the antithesis of your brand.
