Multi-millionaire Bernie Sanders told Fox's Brett Baier that he is way too important to fly commercial with the hoi polloi and he will not apologize for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars (maybe millions?) on private air travel for the barnstorming of his "Fight the Oligarchy" dog-and-pony-show with The Bronx Valley Girl. 

Bernie Sanders Claims He's TOO GOOD to Fly Commercial and LOL, X Just Has a HEYDAY With the Old Socialist

Well, now there is even more evidence of how Bernie Sanders - Mr. Oligarch, himself - loves to live the high life with dollars he scams from donors and the American people. This guy is simply a worthless, pathetic leech ... but, he's a Marxist, so this is not unexpected. 

It's Not Just Private Planes! Check Out Where Bernie 'Mr. Oligarchy' Sanders Stays While In London

Nothing screams 'man of the people' like taking private planes to stops on your 'fight the oligarchy' tour, but that's exactly what Bernie Sanders is doing. Like the good socialist he is, Bernie claims he's too good to fly commercial like us peons and Andrew Yang said that the octogenarian just can't be expected to rail about billionaires if he's gotta fly coach.

Yep ... when it comes to truly "Fighting the Oligarchy," Bernie has met the enemy and they are him, AOC, and his comrades in the Democrat Party.

But Bernie doesn't have expensive taste only when it comes to flying the friendly skies.

He also has expensive taste in lodging.

Remember when the Democrats wanted to audit your $600 Venmo payments? Good times.

Jodi (@APLMom) ~ Of course ... Mr. Oligarchy.

Some billionaires are more equal than others.

TheMorningSpew2 (@TheMorningSpew2) ~ Do we expect him to wait in line for an egg McMuffin?

That would be beneath him.

I Came; I Saw; I Got Over Macho Grande (@smitty_one_each) ~ Well, it's not as though he was spending his own money, or something.

There's a 100% chance we're paying for that.

Vince Lyle (@VinceLyle2161) ~ It's a small, exclusive club, and you're not invited.

In socialist countries, the common folk never are.

Yep ... and the name of that exclusive club is "The Oligarchy." The huge difference between Bernie Sanders and Elon Musk is that Elon worked his ass off to create valuable business enterprises ... Bernie somehow leeched his millions from being a ne'er-do-well public servant. Well ... supposedly a public servant. 

Brent Casteel (@daddy18880) ~ He’s doing it for ‘the people.’ 🙄

He sure is.

Orwell was a smart man.

FerfeLaBat (@FerfeLaBat) ~ It’s all an act with him. Remember the Flint Michigan guy? Turns out he loves the lux life while slam-dancing the wealthy in documentaries.

The word we're looking for here is 'hypocrisy.'

melanie haber (@melsorbit) ~ He was fighting against millionaires until he became one. Now, he embraces the millionaire lifestyle - and fights against billionaires.

And if he becomes a billionaire, he'll rail against trillionaires.

There is no bottom for these people.

For socialists, they’re sure a couple of high flyers!

Far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted exiting a private jet with her comrade in arms, Sen. Bernie Sanders, after shuttling between stops for a campaign dedicated to denouncing the wealthy.

Video from Fox News shows AOC and Sanders exiting a Bombardier Challenger 604 — despite both railing against flying private planes and the people who own them — a luxury aircraft with a lofty $5 million to $7 million price tag and costing an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter.

Ah, yes ... the true Oligarchs are the ones flying around in this luxurious, stupendously expensive corporate jet. So, Bernie & Sandy ... we sure hope you took the opportunity at your next rally with your sheeple of the Proletariat to denounce yourselves as the evil rich. No ... you didn't?!

Environmentalist and anti-wealth crusader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seen exiting a $15,000-per-hour private jet with fellow socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The duo hopped the swanky ride to attend a series of Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies, which aim to “have real discussions across America,” and take on “the oligarchs and corporate interests who have so much power and influence in this country,” the official website for the campaign states.

OUCH ... looks like you two are LONG overdue for a good, hard, insightful gaze into the nearest mirror!

The site even solicits donations to help fund the tour, which it says — in an understatement that strains credulity — requires “a modest amount of resources” for travel-related expenses.

The website even takes a shot at the uber-rich, disclosing it’s “Paid for by friends of Bernie Sanders (not the billionaires).”

The tour has taken the duo to locales including Tucson, Arizona; Los Angeles; Salt Lake City; Nampa, Idaho; Bakersfield, California, and more, to pontificate about the evils of extreme wealth and income inequality to cheering crowds.

“We as a community must choose and vote for Democrats and elected officials who know how to stand for the working class,” AOC said at one rally.

Sen. Bernie Sanders was also seen descending the stairs of the roughly $6 million Bombardier Challenger 604 between stops on his “Fighting Oligarchs” tour.

The tour must be going well, as flying in the lap of luxury in a private jet is actually a significant upgrade from how AOC traveled to previous rallies.

Last month, the congresswoman was photographed flying first-class on a JetBlue flight to a Fighting Oligarchy event from JFK Airport in Queens to Las Vegas, which critics slammed as the lefty congresswoman battling inequality one “mimosa at a time.”

A first-class JetBlue seat on the same route, weekday and time later this month costs upward of $1,100.

Sanders has also previously drawn criticism for his penchant for private jet travel, chartering at least one for the duration of President Trump’s impeachment trial in 2020.

His campaign spent more than $221,000 on private jet travel in the first quarter of 2025 alone, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Reps for AOC and Sanders did not respond to a request for comment by The Post.
