BITTER CLINTON STAFFERS ARE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT “HIS ROYAL MAJESTY KING BERNIE SANDERS”
As Sanders attains front-runner status, former rivals go on the record to call out his use of a private jet while campaigning for Hillary.
As the Democratic runner-up in 2016, Bernie Sanders has a built-in advantage that’s vaulted him to the front of the 2020 pack. He has nearly unparalleled name recognition, raised nearly $6 million within 24 hours of announcing his White House bid, and enjoys a sizable polling lead over several top rivals. Of course, front-runner status also makes Sanders a target—and there’s no shortage of opposition research his detractors are happy to surface. Last month, a group supporting Beto O’Rourke released a video of Sanders during a trip to the Soviet Union, drinking and shirtless, singing the Woody Guthrie song “This Land Is Your Land.” More recently, a video has been recirculated in which Sanders, after returning from the Evil Empire, praises the U.S.S.R.’s breadlines.
Few, however, have been as vocal, or as snippy, as Hillary Clinton’s former supporters, who took the time to tell Politico that they just cannot stomach the Vermont senator’s hypocrisy. Why? For having the audacity to request the use of a (carbon-spewing) private jet so that he could crisscross the country campaigning for her.
