Wall Street Journal: “The scandal—dubbed ‘PodiumGate’ on social media by those still confused about the difference between a podium and a lectern—centers on her office’s purchase of a seemingly expensive piece of furniture to stand behind while speaking.”
“Records show Sanders’s office bought the lectern for $19,000 from a firm owned by a known Republican operative in a no-bid purchase.
Lecterns seemingly identical to the simple, wood-paneled model Sanders’s office purchased appear to sell online for a fraction of that price.”
