Energy watchdog exposes eye-popping carbon footprint of Sanders’ jet-setting tour: ‘Fake socialist’

Politicians being liars and hypocrites—how utterly scandalous, like discovering that tossing a turd into your stew mysteriously ruins the flavor. Who could have foreseen it? Surely not us, the enlightened electorate, endlessly surprised that snakes slither. Take Bernie, for instance—the patron saint of proletarian virtue. A man who rose from modest means and, through the miraculous asceticism of living solely on a senator’s salary, somehow amassed a tidy little fortune. One can only assume he lives on instant noodles and self-righteousness to have saved so much. Or perhaps—just perhaps—it was the gravy train, that well-lubricated Beltway conveyor belt of influence and insider perks. But hush now—Bernie is a socialist, a man of the people, cloaked in the holy vestments of performative austerity. And yet, when he tramples every known rule of integrity and decency, battalions of activists ride out like zealots defending their false prophet. It’s not politics anymore; it’s religious mania without the architecture. There’s no brain in this—just the echo of faith shouting down fact.
