Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are taking the “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies out West next week – and advising supporters to mask up to participate.
Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox News Digital can confirm that the RSVP for the events in Denver and Las Vegas includes guidance that “masks are advised for all attendees of this event.”
A post shared by conservative podcaster Stephen L. Miller on Friday about the Denver event had many wondering why masks would be advised for an outdoor event in 2025.
Sanders did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry about the mask guidance.
“Sent from a friend. Bernie’s speaking tour is advising everyone in attendance to wear masks. This is an outdoor event,” the X post said, accompanied by a screenshot of the RSVP.
“Still trying the Covid panic politics,” the top comment said.
“Was this from the year 2020?” a content creator asked.
But another reply countered: “They don’t want the paid attendees found out.”
The reactions to the post are split, with many people online dumbfounded by the need for masks exactly five years after the COVID-19 pandemic forced shutdowns and social distancing.
Others speculated that the masks are a way to protect attendees’ identities.

Still hoping Covid keeps trump out of power.
The Democrats had their own oligarchy. Right now, it’s broken.
One guy yelling at a town hall is only going to make the other people there dislike him.
No....protecting identities!
I’m all for them masking up. It’s a great identifier in general and makes their life uncomfortable and inconvenient.
They’re obsessed with masks. Masks need to be outlawed except for professional situations such as hospitals or welding etc.
That’s how I tell who’s the radical progressives are at the supermarket. Masks.
Black ski masks with green bandanas on their heads, yeah, that’ll work.
For the riots afterwards.
I suspect 99% of people wearing masks nowadays do so to conceal their identity.
A great way to move around in public anonymously while having an active warrant out for your arrest for instance.
IMO they should be outlawed unless it’s on a doctor’s orders.
“Hypochondria, also known as health anxiety disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by excessive and persistent worry about having or developing a serious medical condition.” Forcing people around you to needlessly wear a mask is a symptom of hypochondria.
Attendees should have ear plugs in also. Bernie & AOC are verbal contagious diseases. Bad for your brain.
I think they do this every few months just to see how well the brain-washing is going.
Notice the white liberal women. No one hates Trump more than them.
I will not engage in any peaceful discourse with anyone wearing a mask unless they are the anesthesiologist about to put me under for surgery.
Their masks are all about marxist, sexless conformity, like the mao jackets they still adore.
Bernie Sanders’ IQ plus AOC’s IQ = 37
