Bernie Sanders got caught red-handed living like a billionaire while preaching about equality. The socialist senator threw a fit when Fox News asked why he wasted over $220,000 of campaign cash on private jets this year. Sanders barked that flying commercial would make him late for his anti-rich rallies – even though he spends all day attacking successful Americans.
The Vermont radical’s “Fighting Oligarchy Tour” looks more like a luxury vacation scheme. While ordinary families squeeze into coach seats, Sanders and AOC zip around in $15,000-per-hour private planes. This champagne socialist burned enough fuel to power a small town just to complain about climate change at different airports.
Sanders snapped at reporter Bret Baier when questioned about the hypocrisy. He tried deflecting by mentioning Donald Trump’s travel habits – forgetting that Trump isn’t the one screaming about carbon footprints daily. Real leaders lead by example, but Bernie thinks rules are for peasants, not revolutionaries.
The aging activist claims he needs private jets to reach crowds quickly. Tell that to construction workers stuck in traffic or single moms taking three buses to work. Sanders’ “emergency” schedule includes five-star hotels and celebrity fundraisers between his fake grassroots events.
Campaign filings show Sanders blew $221,723 on jet charters in just three months. That’s enough money to buy 44 electric cars or install solar panels on 300 homes. But for Bernie, saving the planet takes a backseat to his comfy travel arrangements.
While lecturing Americans about sacrifice, Sanders’ campaign burned enough jet fuel to circle the globe 12 times. His carbon footprint is bigger than a Texas oil tycoon’s, but he still wants YOU to ride a bike to work. The climate crisis only matters when it’s someone else’s problem.
Sanders insists there’s “no apology” for acting like Elon Musk with a Marxist bumper sticker. He claims fighting capitalism requires first-class cabins and runway-side limos. Real change-makers don’t need golden parachutes – they show up where it counts without bankrupting their cause.
This private jet scandal proves the left’s leaders think they’re royalty. They’ll bankrupt the treasury, ground your pickup truck, and melt glaciers with private planes – all while calling YOU greedy for wanting affordable gas. Sanders’ climate tantrums are just cover for his power-hungry vanity project.
