Story highlights Clinton was on her way to a fundraiser with George and Amal Clooney

The protest was part of a counter-fundraiser for Sanders

(CNN) A group of around 100 Bernie Sanders supporters showered Hillary Clinton's motorcade in 1,000 single-dollar bills as the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate drove to a fundraiser with George and Amal Clooney on Saturday.

Howard Gold, who lives down the street from Clooney in Los Angeles' tony Studio City neighborhood, hosted the group of Sanders supporters for a $27-a-person fundraiser. As part of that event, Gold and other organizers handed out $1 bills for attendees to throw at Clinton as she drove by.

Gold and others said the protest was meant to be a fun way to show what they called the absurdity around campaign finance laws. Gold said he doesn't support the former first lady because of her foreign policy views.

"She is the most militaristic of any of the candidates," Gold, 56, said, citing her tenure of secretary of state. "I really think she is."

Gold, whose family founded the 99 Cents Only Stores chain, withdrew the money from a bank, organizers said.
