How else do you expect politicians to get where they need on the other side of the country or even world for meetings and events?

I see. So, mitigating "climate change" is only for the little people. Got it.
And he's fighting for changes that mean he'll pay more in taxes so that everyone can have healthcare. This is called putting your money where your mouth is.
Seriously, this is one of the weirdest criticisms of Bernie. He wants millionaires to pay more taxes, but turns out he's a millionaire himself. That means he's consistent.
He doesn't own jets, he charters them.
How many senators own at least two houses, one in their home state and one in the DC area?
I know that RW phony rick santorum bought a mansion in VA when he was a senator, moved his family there permanently, and kept a hovel in PA for appearances sake.
Bernie released 10 years' worth of tax returns a few months ago. Still waiting for trump to do the same.
How else do you expect politicians to get where they need on the other side of the country or even world for meetings and events? Representatives in politics and business alike always take a private jet because they have to get there and they have to be there at a certain time. My mom's friend has to do the same thing as a company rep.
That's two things Bernie has over Trump. He's willing to pay more taxes, and he already pays taxes.
Read it and weep, stooge.![]()
"According to the latest campaign finance filings, Sanders cut checks totalling $360,350 to Apollo Jets, a private charter service based in New York, for the use of a private jet three times during the third quarter — once in August and twice in September.
In late 2018, the Vermont senator also utilized the private jet service, spending $297,685 to travel across the country stumping for progressive candidates ahead of the midterm elections.
Sanders, who has made addressing climate change a key part of his policy platform, did purchase $4,860 worth of carbon offsets — which fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions — from the Burlington based company Native Energy."
Educate yourself on travel for campaigns, dummy.
Presidential, vice-presidential and Senate candidate travel
Candidates for President, Vice-President and the Senate pay the pro rata share of the fair market value on non-commercial flights. The pro rata share is determined by dividing the fair market value of the normal and usual charter fare or rental charge for a comparable aircraft of comparable size by the number of campaign travelers flying on behalf of each candidate on the flight. The pro rata share is calculated based on the number of candidates represented on a flight, regardless of whether the individual candidate is actually present on the flight. A candidate is represented on a flight if a person is traveling on behalf of that candidate or the candidate’s authorized committee.

No, he can't just make a commercial flight that's heading his way appear when he has to get somewhere.
yes he should walk from city to city. That would be the right thing to do. Perhaps crawling?
Why wasn't this an issue when Trump was running?
So you got nothing,but a deflection .
What difference does that make you fool. ? Bernie is still traveling on a private jet.
Trump pays more taxes than all of the front runners for the Party of the Jackass nomination combined. What does that have to do with the hypocrisy leftists wallow in?
Wrong; it's called being a Marxist hypocrite.![]()
so only important people should be able to fly? elitist much?
How is it being a hypocrite if he's willing to pay more in taxes?
I could see if he was saying "all millionaires but me must pay more," but that's not the case.
