Progressive darlings Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got caught red-handed living like the oligarchs they claim to hate. The self-proclaimed champions of the working class were filmed boarding a $15,000-per-hour private jet after lecturing Californians about “fighting greed” at their taxpayer-funded rallies.
These climate crusaders burned enough jet fuel in one hour to power a middle-class family’s car for months. Their luxury Bombardier Challenger boasts leather seats wide enough to stretch out while they plot to take away your gas stove. Guess “carbon footprints” are only for peasants who can’t afford $7 million jets.
This isn’t the first time these elites have preached water while drinking champagne. AOC once sneered at CEOs for using private planes, tweeting that she only flies commercial “like regular people.” Bernie spent years screeching about billionaires destroying the planet – then burned enough jet fuel to power Rhode Island just to attend another anti-rich hatefest.
Real Americans noticed the hypocrisy faster than these phonies can say “Green New Deal.” Social media exploded with hardworking taxpayers asking why they must bike to work while Sanders and AOC pollute the skies. One construction worker tweeted: “They want us eating bugs in the dark while they feast on steak at 30,000 feet.”
Their “Fight Oligarchy” tour should be renamed “Become the Oligarchy.” They flew between cities lecturing crowds about “greedy capitalists” from a jet that costs more per hour than most voters make in three months. The only thing they’re fighting is their addiction to luxury while forcing austerity on everyone else.
Republican leaders blasted these champagne socialists for their “staggering hypocrisy.” A GOP spokesperson nailed it: “They want you trapped in a bus, shivering in winter, while they cruise the stratosphere sipping organic champagne.” Even some Democrats admit this exposes the left’s rule – one set of laws for them, another for you.
This jet-setting scandal proves the left’s climate agenda was never about saving the planet – it’s about controlling your life. They’ll ban your truck, ration your meat, and triple your energy bills while living like climate-denying royalty. Your sacrifices fund their luxury as they literally look down on us from their ivory sky palace.
At this point, Bernie and AOC should just paint “Rules for Thee” on their jet’s wings. They’ve become exactly what they claim to despise – spoiled elites who think normal Americans are too stupid to notice their lies. Real leaders lead by example. These two just lead us toward bankruptcy while flying first-class to the bankruptcy hearing.
