Bernie Sanders just proved liberal elites live by one rule: do as I say, not as I do. The socialist senator got caught red-handed blowing over $220,000 of campaign cash on luxury private jets while preaching about climate doom. When Fox News’ Bret Baier challenged him, Sanders threw a tantrum instead of owning his hypocrisy.
Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” tour burned $221,723 in three months on swanky private flights. His campaign dropped up to $15,000 PER HOUR to avoid rubbing elbows with regular folks at commercial airports. This champagne socialist tours the country screaming about “income inequality” while guzzling jet fuel like a billionaire.
The Vermont senator snapped when asked about his carbon-spewing habits. He whined that waiting in line at United Airlines would inconvenience his precious rally schedule. Apparently, the climate “emergency” matters less than Sanders’ media spotlight. Real leaders lead by example – but Bernie’s too important for that.
Sanders tried deflecting by pointing at Donald Trump’s jet usage. Here’s the difference: Trump never lectured Americans about sacrificing their cars and hamburgers to save the planet. Sanders demands YOU freeze in the dark to stop global warming while he joyrides in Learjets.
This stinks of liberal elitism. Sanders wants working-class families to bankrupt themselves buying electric appliances, but he won’t give up his gas-guzzling perks. It’s the same old socialist scam – equality for thee, private jets for me.
The “Fighting Oligarchy” tour should be called the “Hypocrisy Express.” Sanders rails against corporate greed while wasting donor money on luxury travel. He’s become the very fat cat he claims to hate. Real fighters of corruption don’t blow six figures avoiding coach class.
Climate activists should be outraged. Private jets emit 10 times more pollution per passenger than commercial flights. But the green police always give their radical pals a free pass. When Al Gore flies private, it’s an “inconvenient truth.” When Bernie does it, it’s “essential.”
This scandal exposes the left’s core lie. They don’t want equality – they want YOU to live worse so THEY can live better. Sanders’ private jet habit shows woke liberals view ordinary Americans as peasants who must shrink their lives while elites keep living large.
