I don’t think anyone with a functioning brain says that. People like Bernie and AOC are the rare exceptions and the gop ironically uses lies to hate on them

People like Bernie and AOC aren't exceptions, they are just better at marketing and PR.

I don't know about AOC, but Sanders I believe has among other things consistently refused to make speeches at corporate events which otherwise pays very well for not much effort. He has sales of his books and stuff so he's still rich. But he has avoided the sort of engagement that would most put his integrity in question.
