Bernie Sanders Spends $221K on Private Jets While Fighting ‘Oligarchs’—No Apologies

Bernie Sanders makes no apologies for his lavish travel during his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, defending his use of private jets despite the hefty $221,000 price tag for charter flights in early 2025. As he rallies crowds across the nation, the Vermont senator argues that this is the only way to reach the masses. With rallies designed to challenge corporate power and oligarchy influence, Sanders and his progressive allies remain unapologetic, even as critics point to the irony of their multimillion-dollar travel style.
