For socialists, they’re sure a couple of high flyers!
Far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted exiting a private jet with her comrade in arms, Sen. Bernie Sanders, after shuttling between stops for a campaign dedicated to denouncing the wealthy.
Video from Fox News shows AOC and Sanders exiting a Bombardier Challenger 604 — despite both railing against flying private planes and the people who own them — a luxury aircraft with a lofty $5 million to $7 million price tag and costing an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter.
The duo hopped the swanky ride to attend a series of Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies, which aim to “have real discussions across America,” and take on “the oligarchs and corporate interests who have so much power and influence in this country,” the official website for the campaign states.
The site even solicits donations to help fund the tour, which it says — in an understatement that strains credulity — requires “a modest amount of resources” for travel-related expenses.
The website even takes a shot at the uber-rich, disclosing it’s “Paid for by friends of Bernie Sanders (not the billionaires).”
The tour has taken the duo to locales including Tucson, Arizona; Los Angeles; Salt Lake City; Nampa, Idaho; Bakersfield, California, and more, to pontificate about the evils of extreme wealth and income inequality to cheering crowds.
“We as a community must choose and vote for Democrats and elected officials who know how to stand for the working class,” AOC said at one rally.
The tour must be going well, as flying in the lap of luxury in a private jet is actually a significant upgrade from how AOC traveled to previous rallies.

What Bernie and AOC both are is a pair of flaming hypocrites.
That’s like starting off your “stop smoking” tour by lighting up a smoke.
Spend it like you got it, I guess! And they can do this without an ounce of embarrassment or shame. There’s something mentally wrong with people like that who can’t see the irony in what they’re doing.
It is all about “government for Thee but not for me”.
Admittedly commercial airlines have rigid schedules.
Arrive a little early, leave a little late, is that a problem?
We little people all have to deal with it why can’t you Democrats?
Y’all might get to see how most Americans outside
your bubble have to live.
When are the Democrat sheeple gonna wake up and realize all the so called oligarchs and tyrannical people they hate are the ones they’re electing to office with D’s by their names?
Socialists??? Maoist isn’t that hard to spell.
Who are the grifters paying for these two grifters?
I am willing to make a wild ass guess and opine The American Tax Payer.
This is part of the GOP AOC strategy called the Let Her Speak operation.
Now it Looks like the Fat Girl Tour .
AOC must be hitting the all you can eat beans and rice menu on the private jets .
Yeah, but who are the middlemen getting an outsized cut of the fleecings?
so,, instead of a 1000$ flight,, they probably spent 100,000 $ tax payers cash for round trip ? HYPOCRACY of Grifter Oligarch Proportions.
Nothing new there.. liberals have been doing that for years. They do exactly what they fight against. ANTIFA is fascist, BLM is racist, LGBTWRSTUVWXYZ freak show are pedophiles, they praise the first amendment but riot against any speech they don’t want to hear, they call conservatives Nazis yet they are the dictators stifling anything they don’t like.
Their supporters.
All oligarchs are equal, and AOC and Bernie Oligarchs are MORE equal!!
Similar to Chris Christie’s hourly food budget on flights.
Alternate airports if they run out during the trip.
