Will Sanders Hill Internship Be Hottest Ticket for Wonky Millennials?
It pays $12/hr, not $15

Sen. Bernie Sanders has not dropped out of the race for president yet, but he might be hinting at a shift away from the campaign.
Earlier in June, Sanders let go about half his campaign staff and on Monday, Sanders tweeted that he is looking for interns for his congressional and Burlington, Vermont, office.

These internships are paid. However, they pay $12 an hour, which is less than the $15 minimum wage increase Sanders has called for as a living wage.

Some people on Twitter are calling Sanders out:
@SenSanders So “Fight For 15” doesn’t apply to your interns.

@SenSanders @RobertoPrusso Looking at the 640 RTs, I bet I am not the only non-student from outside VT who would LOVE this job. 🙂

I’m definitely considering applying for the Bernie Sanders paid internship. It would only be 3 months yet it pays more than I make now+Bern!
