Sen. Bernie Sanders is wasting no time resuming his attacks on "Washington politicians" who are "paid over $200,000 an hour for speeches" after Thursday night's debate with Hillary Clinton. In a new ad released Friday — which doesn't mention Clinton by name, though it's not hard to read between the lines — Sanders lambasts politicians who are willing to accept exorbitant speaking fees but won't consider raising the minimum wage.

"While Washington politicians are paid over $200,000 an hour for speeches, they oppose raising the living wage to $15 an hour," the ad says. "Two hundred thousand dollars an hour for them. But not even 15 bucks an hour for all Americans. Enough is enough."
