Bernie Sanders on Using Expensive Private Jets -- Paid for by Billionaire Pals -- While "Fighting the Oligarchy:" "You Want Me to Wait in Line at United With 30,000 People?"

"No apologies," the Noted Oligarchy Fighter, and Crusader Against Carbon-Dioxide Producing Air Travel, snapped.

When Sanders asked, rhetorically, "When's the last time you saw Donald Trump at National Airport," Bret Baiet replied, "He's not 'fighting the oligarchy.'"

"You think I'm going to be sitting on a waiting line," Caesar Flickerman -- excuse me, Bernie Sanders -- asks, "at United, while 30,000 people are waiting?" Sanders appeared on Fox News to answer questions about his Fight The Oligarchy tour, and Bret Baier honed in on the $220K-plus that Sanders has spent on private jet travel. Advertisement

Sanders appeared to flounder, even though he knew the question had to be coming. "When was the last time you saw Trump at National Airport during a campaign?" Sanders asked, prompting Baier to quip, "Trump isn't fighting the oligarchy." Trump also owns his own plane, bought with his own funds, although his campaigns pay for the operating costs, of course.

Here's the absurd argument in its entirety, coming from someone who never worked an honest day in his life before going into radical-left activism and politics. For an old socialist, Sanders really gets defensive when questioned about his luxurious lifestyle.
