Sanders' campaign committee has spent over $221,000 on private jets during the first quarter of 2025

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., chartered a private jet worth up to a staggering $15,000 an hour for several West Coast stops on their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour.

Sanders boarded the luxury Bombardier Challenger private jet at the Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield, California, on Tuesday afternoon, according to a photo captured by a source on the ground and shared exclusively with Fox News Digital. Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, whom the source also spotted boarding the private jet, spoke at their "Fighting Oligarchy" event in Bakersfield just hours earlier.

Flight records reveal the jet landed at Sacramento Mather Airport on Tuesday evening, which is about a 20-minute drive to Folsom, California, where the self-identified Democratic socialists hosted their second rally of the day. After publication Thursday, Fox News Digital obtained new footage of Sanders and AOC exiting the private jet in Sacramento Tuesday evening from California resident Matvei Levchenko.

“Fighting Oligarchy” is like the Notre Dame “Fighting Irish”. Notre Dame doesn’t fight against the Irish - the are Irish who fight. Similarly, AOC and Comrade Bernie aren’t fighting the oligarchy. They are the oligarchy fighting Trump.

In fighting oligarchy, they live like oligarchs.

I wonder if their target audience knows what an oligarchy is? They’re using such big words.

Some ‘pigs’ are more piggish than others.

No doubt they had limousines pick them up and drop them off at their dachas as well.

Not in America. But in the Soviet Union the government provided everyone with a private jet.

They just hate Trump with all their hearts, and do as they’re told.

The nomenklatura has always pitted the proletariat against the bourgeoisie to their own benefit.

Or do they even teach kids the meaning of those words anymore?

Anyone else dumbfounded that AOC is being touted for a Democrat run at the Presidency? Her understanding of current events and economics in general is frightening to me. I don’t think the Democrats can hide her from interviews like they did with Joe and Kamala. People already know she stupid, but letting her open her mouth and remove all doubt is a problem for the Democrats.

I remember him having an Audi.

The Maserati is news to me.

This could inspire a sequel to the comically awful movie, Maserati & The Brain.

Maserati Marxist and the brainless for a title?

I find it amazing that these rich old mf’ers don’t take their millions of un-earned wealth and just go retire on a beach somewhere.
It takes a special kind of power/publicity hungry narciccist to keep going like they do..
Sanders?
He is basically a cult leader, a cult consisting of millions of retards.
must be proud of himself..

After I posted it I checked and I could find no evidence. I got it from the Interwebs, so I thought it must be true.

End sarcasm for the humor impaired.

“Fighting Oligarchy” and “Fighting the Carbon Footprint” all in one.

What Bernie-bots I’ve met, most are pretty sad or angry people.

Ignorance does not even describe them.
They are people that live on a different planet that the rest of us.
It’s unreal
