7:54Now PlayingWith the Wisconsin primary just a day away, Democratic presidential challengers Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders sparred over the weekend over whether fossil fuel lobbyists are funding Clinton’s campaign. The dispute took center stage after video emerged of Greenpeace activist Eva ResnickDay questioning Clinton at a campaign rally at the State University of New York in Purchase on Thursday. ResnickDay has been working on a Greenpeace campaign to get candidates to take a pledge rejecting future donations from oil, gas and coal lobbyists and executives. "These lobbyists are people whose job it is to make connections with Senator Clinton to influence her policy going forward. And giving her money in the campaign, they’re clearly trying to find influence," says ResnickDay. "I don’t think that that is how democracy should work." We speak with ResnickDay, the democracy organizer for Greenpeace who confronted Clinton.
