Bernie Sanders Spent $221K in 1st quarter 2025 on Private Jets Amid 'Fighting Oligarchy' Tour

[Text Drivers are Killers]

And how did sanders amass his millions? Bribery. They all do it. Not one honest congressman in america.

april 17 2025 Sen. Bernie Sanders has crisscrossed the country on his nationwide Fighting Oligarchy Tour to rail against billionaires and supposed "oligarchs" like Elon Musk—while traveling like an oligarch himself.

Campaign expenditures released Tuesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show Sanders's main campaign committee, Friends of Bernie Sanders, spent $221,723 chartering private jets during the first quarter of 2025, with the first payment coming just days before the launch of his tour in February.

The revelation is just the latest contrast between his socialist rhetoric and his millionaire lifestyle. The Vermont senator used to rail against "millionaires and billionaires" in his speeches denouncing oligarchy—until he became a millionaire himself shortly before his 2020 presidential campaign, at which point he trained his fire on "billionaires." During that campaign, fellow candidate Michael Bloomberg mocked Sanders for amassing wealth while preaching socialism for the masses. "The best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses," Bloomberg said in a 2020 debate.

Naturally the media won't blast sanders for this. They're too busy going after trump for deporting a wife-beating gangster illegal alien back to his home country.

This is the Swamps version of a Trump Rally I gather.

How many of the audience are paid to be there we dont know.

I was listening to someone who spent some time up front and personal with Sanders....According to him Sanders is an actor putting on a performance.

That in 2016 I seriously considered him was a huge mistake.

I am not always right.

The Harris campaign was a great window onto how much money our overlords are willing to throw around.
