That’s rich!
Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders refused to apologize for chartering private jets to ferry him across the country as part of his campaign to rip the wealthy — snapping, “You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United … while 30,000 people are waiting?”
Sanders (D-Vt.) defiantly defended his mode of transport after he was widely ridiculed for opting to fly private during his recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour alongside far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“No apologies for that,” Sanders, 83, told Fox News’ “Special Report” late Wednesday when asked about the backlash. “That’s what campaign travel is about. We’ve done it in the past. We’re gonna do it in future.”
“You run a campaign and you do three or four or five rallies in a week. That’s the only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people,” he told host Bret Baier.
“You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United … while 30,000 people are waiting?”
Sanders immediately came under fire after Federal Election Commission filings recently revealed that his campaign had spent more than $221,000 on private jet travel in the first quarter of 2025 alone.
Then, Sanders and AOC were spotted disembarking from a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a luxe jet that can cost an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter — during their cross-country tour dedicated to denouncing the wealthy.

Bernie is nothing but a hypocrite.
A sure sign of a sociopath is they never apologize, but always justify.
He is a senator from Vermin-ont. Why is he using campaign funds to fly about the country?
Just look at the Clintons.
Besides being a life long parasite and grifter, he’s an arrogant prick too.
‘You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?’ /
What ogliarch would ?
The snobbery of marxist aristocrats.
What’s so horrible about an capitalist “oligarchy” when you have such extreme contempt for the proletariat by the power mongering adminstrative state oligarchs instead?
500 years ago Cardinal-Rabbi Sanders would pass the hoi polloi sniffing an orange and cloves scented pomander ball, blessing the unwashed as he hurried past them.
Once he railed against millionaires, now it’s billionaires, the phony pos.
Azzhoe should be traveling Greyhound or Amtrak. Flying is for the Oligarchy.
“You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United “
Yeah that is only for the great unwashed. Bernie is too good for that.
under socialism
the rules never apply to the elite
i dont know about this oligarch stuff
the purpose of the tour
is to pass the bernie bro baton to aoc
with bernie bros behind her
she will get a real boost in the primaries
But bernie, that’s what you want the peasants to do.
good one
They need to be taken seriously as they are dangerous, but no rational person should view a philosophical engagement or intellectual debate with them as anything but a complete waste of time.
The “man of the people” is too important to waste time in a line at an airport.
The vanguard of the proletariat live high on the hog while everybody else eats bugs.
That is the dirty little secret of Communism.
