“No Apologies,” Sen. Sanders says, invoking Trump
By Ted Cohen
Vermont’s senior senator Sunday rejected the alleged hypocrisy of flying charters while blasting oil-executive salaries.
Bernie Sanders’ use of private jets for his political campaigns and tours has drawn scrutiny from critics who argue it contradicts his advocacy against corporate wealth and environmental issues.
In an interview on Fox News, Sanders pushed back on the apparent contradiction.
“You campaign and you do three or four or five rallies a week,” he told Fox News anchor Bret Baier. “The only way, the only way, you can get around to talk to 30,000 people.
“You think I’m going to be waiting around sitting on a waiting line at United? While 30,000 people are waiting? No apologies for that.
“That’s what campaign travel is about,” Sanders added. “We’ve done it in the past and we will do it in the future.”
Sanders tried to argue that President Trump doesn’t fly commercial while campaigning either, asking Baier, “When’s the last time you saw Donald Trump during a campaign at National Airport?”
“But he’s also not fighting the oligarchy,” Baier replied.

Bernie is a classic communist, ddo as I say, don’t do as I do.
Just saw an article, Democrat multi millionaire Rep Ro Kahna, says the threshold for the ‘Billionaire’s Tax” needs to be lowered to and included people worth $50 Million and higher, not just billionaires
Typical, just like NYC Mayors office air conditioner, set at 58F when he tells everyone along with the Governor to set theirs at 78F. Only for Me and not for Thee ! Bernie said previously “I deserve it, I AM a US Senator”
Getting your money’s worth out of Bernie, VT??
He actually never works on VT issues; just endless campaigning for something else, anything else, than Vermont.
“Do you think I’m gonna be worrying about these backwater peasants, when I’ve got hundreds of useful idiots waiting to see me in California?? We’ve done it in the past, and we’ll do it in the future!”
Bernie is like that pesky mosquito that irritates you at night. Basically, a worthless entity with no useful purpose. You can get rid of him but there is always another waiting in the wings (no pun intended) ready to take its place.
So Boinie is a hypocrite, everybody knows that . Yet they vote for him anyway . Yes Sir, Thank you Sir, May I please have another Sir ? To the best of my knowledge, Communists (rank and file) have never been held up as shining examples of individual intelect. They are by and large, followers, lemmings, cannon fodder, and in this shining example, even their leader ain’t very smart !! So what does that imply about those who continue to believe in this hypocrite ? Do your own math .
At least the Democrat New Yorkers and manipulated college students do

this guy is suppose to work for the people of vt not running around the country campaigning for other states what are we paying him for he is not representing the state only pursuing his own agenda what has he done for the state
where in Vermont are 30,000 people waiting to hear Bernie????
Remember when BS, sometime in the last 36 years, introduced groundbreaking legislation and a couple of Vermonts post offices got a name change? Democracy in action and tax dollars well spent! Ha,Ha, Ha, Ha.
I never made the connection with his initials, until now. LOLL.
“You think I’m going to be waiting around sitting on a waiting line at United? Bernie is too important for that! I guess his staff is too incompetent to schedule commercial flights around his rallies. He might have to take an early morning or late-night flight. He can’t have that.
As a typical communist, BS is envious that Trump can buy his own plane and he can’t, so he has to take the opportunity to tear down Trump.
The man is an absolute fraud and an embarrassment for Vermont.
workin hard for Vermont !
maybe he can fly over to Maine and embrace Platner again.
keep the grift alive.
