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.

Just as the Nazis had their swastika arm bands, I want the enemy to identify themselves and at their own inconvenience. Just yesterday, I was at my vet and one of the three very young female receptionists had a rainbow mask on. That instructed me to ignore her and go to one of the other two. Just like stickers on a Subaru, I want to know who is who wherever possible.
Naaah. The masks were to conceal identity when the planned riots are instigated. These two are violent commie trash. They are after mayhem.
it they’re THAT ashamed of attending, they should probably wear bags over their heads instead of just masking up ...
Have some respect for the noses of people. If you are at a rally with AOC and Bernie then the stench will be awful. Put on a mask and protect yourselves.
Masks should be disallowed at all townhalls. Identities shall not be masked. If the person claims it is for health reasons, then eject them from the event to protect their health.
