Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders won’t be apologizing for using private jets to travel across the country during his campaign against the wealthy.
Sanders (D-Vt.) boldly defended his choice of transportation after facing significant criticism for flying private during his recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with far-left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York.
“No apologies for that,” Sanders, 83, told Fox News’ “Special Report” late Wednesday when asked about the backlash. “That’s what campaign travel is about. We’ve done it in the past. We’re gonna do it in the future.”
“You run a campaign and you do three or four or five rallies in a week. That’s the only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people,” he told host Bret Baier. “You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United … while 30,000 people are waiting?” When questioned about the contradiction of his travel choice in light of his eco-warrior stance, Sanders said: “When was the last time you saw Donald Trump during the campaign mode at a national airport?”
