They are saying that Bernie Sanders lied about how much he pays his campaign staffers. I find that hard to believe since he is a Democrat. If this were true it would make him a monster-sized hypocrite. And we all know that Democrats are not hypocrites.
You can put facts directly in front of them and they will still look you right in the eye and lie to your face. And you will note that very often this happens with their supporters so this must be something in the water where liberals live either that or they are taught this at a young age. Lying isn't an art form, it's just lying, and 99% in politics its extremely easy to prove/disprove. And that fact does matter if you're on the right because it will be produced and you will be held responsible. But there's that pesky R word again, Greek to the left, foreign to the left, shunned by the left, and will be lied about by the left.
Lies, hypocrisy, ignorance - and lack of personal responsibility. Those are very sadly, things we see daily from the entire left. Especially the last one.
You would think the quote in the article would be from a Republican. Nope, a staffer from his own team.

Bernie Sanders Doubles Down on His $15 Minimum Wage Hypocrisy
Bernie Sanders has finally responded after complaints from his campaign staffers that he fails to live up to his $15 per hour minimum wage mantra. The 2020 presidential hopeful insisted to the Des Moines Register, "I'm very proud to be the first presidential candidate to recognize a union and to negotiate a union contract." He added, "And that contract was ratified by the employees of the campaign, and it not only provides pay of at least $15 an hour, it also provides, I think, the best health care benefits that any employer can provide for our field organizers."
Quoting the Bard, "Something is rotten in Denmark." Or, rather, something is rotten in Bernie land. This, of course, isn't a surprise to anyone not hypnotized by the promise of lots and lots of free stuff like health care and a college education.
During the heat of the 2016 presidential election, reports surfaced that Bernie Sanders had purchased a 3rd home. That's right, the socialist lover of the common man and hater of the rich elite owns 3 houses. Like many others, I derived great amusement from teasing my Bernie-loving friends and family members about the Vermont senator's hypocrisy. The leftists in my life were not amused. Well, turns out, Bernie Sanders is still a flaming hypocrite. Or, as Stephen Kruiser delicately worded it for PJ Media, "It would seem that Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), that tireless champion of the poor, downtrodden, and underpaid is kind of full of it."
Commenting on the complaints of Bernie staffers about their low pay, Kruiser insightfully suggests:
Sanders is an insufferable blowhard when pretending to care about others from one of his three houses. He routinely publicly shames corporations like McDonald's about their profits, and demands they pay their employees more. Never mind that most McDonald's restaurants are owned by franchisees and not the corporation; Sanders never lets business reality interfere with his redistribution rants.
The staffer complaints Kruiser commented on were first reported in The Washington Post. However, based on Sanders' response recorded in the De Moines Register, his staffers are compensated at least $15 per hour. If that's true, though, the wording of Sanders' statements still highlights his hypocrisy.
Complaining that staffers would take their concerns to the media, Bernie Sanders blustering about his disappointment said, "Some are individuals that have decided to damage the integrity of that process before they were concluded."
"Before [the negotiations] were concluded."
