Sen. Bernie Sanders faced scrutiny over his use of private jets during his Fighting Oligarchy tour, especially from Fox News host Bret Baier. Sanders justified his travel choices, stating that to connect with thousands across the country, utilizing private flights is essential. He countered his critics by questioning the commitment of those who criticize him, pointing out that he aims to address the struggles of working-class people amid rising wealth inequality. Sanders emphasized the need for action for a fair economy accessible to all citizens, not just the wealthy.
You think I'm going to be sitting on a waiting line at United while, what, thirty thousand people are waiting around. It's the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. That's what campaign travel is about.
I think at a time when the people on top are doing phenomenally, when seniors, working-class people are struggling, people want to hear action to stand up to the people who have the wealth and the power.
