Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just got caught living like the wealthy elites they claim to hate. While lecturing Americans about “oligarchy” and “climate justice,” these two champagne socialists burned over $221,000 of campaign cash on private jets in three months. Their luxury Bombardier Challenger jet costs $15,000 an hour—more than many hardworking families earn in months.
The “Fight Oligarchy” tour’s carbon footprint is staggering. Private jets pollute 14 times more than commercial planes, but Sanders and AOC flew theirs across California, Utah, Idaho, and Nevada. They attacked billionaires like Elon Musk from leather seats in a cabin marketed for “superior comfort.” Meanwhile, they push policies to ban gas cars and control what you eat.
This isn’t Sanders’ first rodeo. During his 2020 presidential run, he blew nearly $2 million on private jets. Now he’s back at it, using donor money to fund his lavish lifestyle while demanding higher taxes for everyone else. AOC joined the hypocrisy, snapping photos in first-class seats and luxury jets as she preaches “economic justice.”
Republican leaders slammed the duo’s “staggering” double standards. “They want YOU to give up trucks and AC while they live like kings,” said NRCC’s Ben Petersen. Online critics roasted them as out-of-touch elitists. One joked, “It’s (D)ifferent when Democrats do it.” Even some liberals admit the optics reek of hypocrisy.
Sanders’ campaign dropped $248,000 on event productions and $41,000 on hotels during the tour. They’re spending like trust-fund babies while claiming to fight for the “working class.” Remember—this is the same Bernie who owns three homes and became a millionaire railing against “millionaires and billionaires.”
The tour’s Los Angeles rally drew 36,000 people, but the real crowd-pleaser was the private jet. AOC told attendees to “fight the system,” then hopped on a flight that spewed 2 tons of CO2 per hour. Their solution? Push the Green New Deal to restrict YOUR life while they jet-set guilt-free.
This isn’t about principles—it’s about power. Sanders and AOC want to control what you drive, what you eat, and how you live. But when it comes to their comfort, rules don’t apply. They’ll fly private, stay in luxury hotels, and party at Coachella while calling you a “climate denier” for using plastic straws.
True patriots see through this charade. While real Americans work two jobs to afford gas, these elitists waste your donations on their lavish tour. If they actually believed their own slogans, they’d fly coach. But for the socialist left, hypocrisy isn’t a bug—it’s a feature.
