I like that. That is my new motto.

They aint got a drop of credibility.

Quote from: Brent on May 08, 2025, 12:36:51 PMIn the final three months of 2019, Sanders' campaign spent nearly $1.2 million on a luxury private jet charter service. Not a good look for someone critical of the wealthy and supposedly concerned about the supposed threat of climate change.

Critics seized upon Sanders' comments as another example of his apparent hypocrisy.

"Ironic that a self proclaimed socialist doesn't like to stand in line since that's what people do in socialist countries. It's just for food, gas, and medical attention — not flights on United," tweeted former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R).

All-American swim star Riley Gaines noted, "The socialist who rails against the wealthy flies private and scoffs at flying commercial — socialism for you, luxury for him."

The two champagne socialists don't think they must live up to their own standards.

The people that say climate change and inequality are existential threats do not walk the talk. But, their followers overlook their hypocrisy.

Rather than idle in one of his three houses, millionaire Sen. Bernie Sanders has been traveling around the country for his Fighting Oligarchy Tour, hitting Americans up for money and giving speeches with Rep. AOC and other fellow travelers on "how we move forward to take on the oligarchs and corporate interests who have so much power and influence in this country."

When pressed Wednesday about the optics of taking a private jet around the country to complain about poverty and inequality, Sanders stated emphatically that he would not apologize for avoiding the alternative modes of travel used by everyday Americans.

Citing campaign expenditures released last month, the Washington Free Beacon indicated that Sanders' main campaign committee, Friends of Bernie Sanders, which manages the Fighting Oligarchy Tour, spent $221,723 on chartering private jets during the first quarter of 2025.

Some of the flights taken by Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez on the "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" were reportedly worth $15,000 an hour.
