The Bernie Sanders campaign spent just under $1.2 million on private jet travel last quarter, outpacing the entire 2020 Democratic presidential primary field.
The most recent filing from Sanders reveals $1,199,579 in spending during the final three months of 2019 to Apollo Jets, LLC, a "luxury private jet charter service." The campaign spent an additional $23,941 for transportation to Virginia-based Advanced Aviation Team.
The candidate who comes closest to matching Sanders in private jet spending was former vice president Joe Biden, whose campaign spent $1,040,698 to Advanced Aviation Team last quarter.
Traveling by private jet is estimated to produce roughly eight times the amount of carbon per passenger as traveling by commercial airliner.
"Global climate change is real, it is caused mainly by emissions released from burning fossil fuels and it poses a catastrophic threat to the long-term longevity of our planet," he writes on his campaign website. "The transportation sector accounts for about 26 percent of carbon pollution emissions."
Alternatively, Amtrak offers service from D.C. to Iowa, which would cost Sanders $149 using the senior discount.

All of congress should be required to take AMTRACK..then they might get rid of it...or fit it
>>>Apollo Jets, LLC, a “luxury private jet charter service.”<<<
Does that separate them from those Minimum Wage Blue Collar Irredeemable Deplorable Hillbilly Single Wide Trailer U + a picture of an actual Crane private Jet charter companies?
Impossible.
Comrade Sanders dreams of working side-by-side with his fellow comrades pulling turnips at Turnip Commune #34.
which of course you and I are paying for.
Why would anyone in their right mind not want to LOWER TAXES to limit these bums from wasting OUR money.
rofl!
Communism for thee but not for me.
“But this time we’re gonna do it right and it will work!”
Socialists love two-tiered systems of healthcare, travel and justice.
What’s Bolshevik Bernie doing?? Trying to kill the Earth with all that carbon??

I never understood the purpose of it?
Is there any line that is still profitable without government subsidies? If so, spin them off into a private company and get rid of the rest that isn’t.
Honestly, AmTrack makes zero sense in a world with air planes.
How dare you!
No wonder Bernie never gets angry when the DNC screws him over.
He likes the perks and payoffs that comes with running...but not seriously
running.
Amtrack and other rail is used high frequency the DC to Boston corridor
I used to take it a lot when I was in Manhattan
The non stop metroliner used to be now it’s something else
2 and a half hours at 120 bucks
It’s quicker than going to Newark or la Guardia from midtown and then from national into downtown dc
God forbid Dulles or BWI
but beyond selected use areas it’s not in high demand
Acela.
I’ve ridden Acela.
You’re correct about speed/convenience if you’re going city center—>city center. It beats planes like a rented mule.
Nomenklatura.
Under socialism we will all have three houses and private jet planes. Just don’t ask Bernie how much it will cost.
“Feel the Burn!”
Indeed. Just what his paid “organizers” prescribe.
Does this not trouble Ms. GREEN NEW DEAL herself— AOC?
She tells us that we have less than 12 years before environmental armageddon comes, yet, she endorses the biggest fossil fuel emitter to be President...
Bernie proclaims his support for the “Green New Deal”, then pollutes the atmosphere by flying private jets to sell his Bolshevism propaganda.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”
Total hypocrites-—ALL of them.
NO MORE FOSSIL FUEL...and they are flying & holding S”UV caravans everywhere.
They all are nuts-—purely nuts.
